About
Wei-Chih Su is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on the diagnosis and surgical management of rare gastrointestinal conditions, with a particular focus on challenging presentations of pancreatic and gastric pathology. His most recognized contribution examines ectopic pancreas masquerading as gastric submucosal tumors — a diagnostic dilemma encountered in approximately 11% of endoscopic ultrasonography examinations. Su's research highlights the limitations of conventional endoscopic approaches, including EUS-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy, in achieving definitive histological diagnosis for these lesions, and advocates for robotic-assisted surgical intervention as an effective treatment strategy for symptomatic patients. This work addresses a clinically significant gap, given how frequently ectopic pancreas mimics more concerning neoplastic lesions, potentially leading to unnecessary patient anxiety or inappropriate management. Though his citation record is in its early stages, with his 2019 publication accumulating 3 citations, Su's contributions speak to an important niche at the intersection of advanced endoscopy, minimally invasive surgery, and gastrointestinal oncology. His research is particularly valuable for clinicians navigating ambiguous submucosal gastric findings in everyday practice.
