About

Dr. Annie Liu is a pioneering surgical oncologist whose research centers on advanced minimally invasive techniques for treating liver malignancies, with a particular focus on hepatic artery infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy. Her landmark study, "Robotic Versus Open Placement of Hepatic Artery Infusion Pumps" (2025), represents a critical contribution to the field—providing the first rigorous comparison between robotic and open surgical approaches for HAIP placement. This work addresses a significant gap in the literature, as prior evidence was limited to small feasibility series. By systematically evaluating outcomes between the two techniques, Dr. Liu has helped establish evidence-based guidelines for surgical decision-making in patients with advanced liver cancers. Her research has already garnered attention within the surgical oncology community, with her most-cited paper accumulating 2 citations in its first year of publication. Dr. Liu’s work is particularly impactful for patients who may benefit from the reduced morbidity of robotic surgery without compromising the efficacy of regional chemotherapy delivery. Her contributions are shaping the future of hepatobiliary surgical oncology, bridging the gap between technological innovation and clinical outcomes.
