About
Hyukjoon Lee is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing the diagnosis, treatment, and postoperative recovery of gastric cancer patients. His work has fundamentally shaped modern gastric cancer management by demonstrating the critical impact of endoscopic screening. In a landmark 2014 study (71 citations), Lee provided compelling evidence that screening leads to earlier cancer detection and improved treatment outcomes, directly influencing clinical guidelines for early diagnosis. More recently, Lee has pioneered advancements in perioperative care through his randomized clinical trial on the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) program for gastric cancer surgery (2025, 7 citations). This cutting-edge work updates traditional recovery protocols by incorporating modern perioperative advancements, showing that ERAS significantly improves postoperative recovery without compromising safety. By bridging the gap between early detection and optimized surgical recovery, Lee’s contributions have enhanced both the quality and longevity of life for gastric cancer patients. His research continues to drive evidence-based innovation in surgical oncology, making him a pivotal figure in the fight against gastric cancer.
