About

Dr. Gwo Fuang Ho is a pioneering figure in interventional oncology, specializing in the application of robotic-assisted technologies for the thermal ablation of liver tumors. His major contributions center on enhancing the precision and safety of minimally invasive cancer treatments, particularly through the use of CT-compatible robotic systems. In his landmark 2014 study, "Robotic-assisted thermal ablation of liver tumours" (63 citations), Dr. Ho demonstrated how robotic guidance can significantly improve needle placement accuracy, thereby optimizing tumor destruction while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. His earlier work, "Robot-assisted radiofrequency ablation of primary and secondary liver tumours: early experience" (51 citations), provided critical early evidence that these systems could reduce radiation exposure for both patients and clinical staff, a major advancement in procedural safety. By systematically evaluating both commercial and research-based robotic platforms, Dr. Ho has helped bridge the gap between engineering innovation and clinical practice. His research has laid the groundwork for more widespread adoption of robotic ablation, offering new hope for patients with complex or inoperable liver malignancies.
