About
Meng‐Che Wu is a leading researcher in surgical oncology and health services research, with a primary focus on evaluating the comparative effectiveness and economic impact of minimally invasive surgical techniques for colorectal cancer. His most cited work, a 2017 study using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, provides a rigorous, population-based comparison of open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgical treatments for rectal cancer. By employing propensity score matching to control for selection bias, Wu demonstrated critical differences in outcomes and costs across these approaches, offering actionable evidence for surgeons and policymakers. This landmark paper, with 38 citations, has shaped clinical decision-making by highlighting the trade-offs between advanced technology and healthcare expenditure. Wu’s contributions are distinguished by his ability to leverage large-scale administrative data to answer pressing surgical questions, bridging the gap between clinical practice and health policy. His work continues to influence how surgical innovations are evaluated, ensuring that patient outcomes and economic sustainability remain at the forefront of cancer care.
