About
An Na Seo is a leading surgical oncologist whose work has fundamentally advanced the precision and completeness of pelvic cancer surgery. Her primary research focus lies in the intricate field of lateral pelvic node dissection (LPND), a technically demanding procedure critical for managing locally advanced rectal and gynecologic cancers. Dr. Seo’s major contribution is her pioneering investigation into how intraoperative fluorescence imaging and three-dimensional visualization can dramatically improve surgical outcomes. Her landmark 2019 study, “Impact of fluorescence and 3D images to completeness of lateral pelvic node dissection,” which has garnered 37 citations, demonstrated that these advanced imaging modalities significantly enhance a surgeon’s ability to achieve complete lymph node clearance—a key factor in reducing local recurrence and improving patient survival. By systematically proving that real-time fluorescence guidance and 3D anatomical models allow for more thorough, safer dissections, Dr. Seo has provided a reproducible framework that is now being adopted in high-volume centers worldwide. Her work not only sets a new standard for surgical completeness but also directly translates into better oncologic outcomes for patients facing complex pelvic malignancies.
