About

Dr. In Gyu Kwon is a leading surgical oncologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic techniques for gastric cancer treatment. His most impactful work, published in 2018 and cited over 176 times, pioneered the use of fluorescent lymphography with indocyanine green during robotic radical gastrectomy. By injecting the dye near the tumor, Dr. Kwon demonstrated that near-infrared imaging could visualize every draining lymph node, dramatically improving the precision and completeness of lymphadenectomy—a critical factor in gastric cancer prognosis. Beyond this landmark study, he has been a strong advocate for expanding access to minimally invasive surgery, providing compelling evidence that these approaches are safe and effective for challenging patient populations, including those with remnant gastric cancer and elderly patients over 80 years old. His recent work also contributes to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, evaluating prokinetic agents like mosapride citrate to improve postoperative intestinal recovery. Through his rigorous clinical studies, Dr. Kwon has helped redefine the standard of care for gastric cancer surgery, making complex procedures safer and more effective for a wider range of patients.
