About
Dr. Hae Won Lee is a leading hepatobiliary surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer. Her work has fundamentally shaped how the field evaluates surgical success, particularly through her pioneering application of "textbook outcome" (TO)—a composite metric that captures ideal postoperative results. In her landmark 2024 study, Dr. Lee conducted a change point analysis of over two decades of liver resections at a major tertiary center, revealing critical shifts in TO achievement that reflect evolving surgical techniques and patient management. This research, already garnering citations, provides a powerful framework for benchmarking quality in hepatobiliary surgery. Beyond this, Dr. Lee’s contributions extend to refining patient selection criteria and perioperative protocols that have directly improved survival and recovery for HCC patients. Her work has been instrumental in advancing precision in liver surgery, earning her recognition as a key voice in surgical oncology. For students and researchers, Dr. Lee exemplifies how rigorous longitudinal analysis can translate into tangible improvements in cancer care.
