Jin‐Hyoung Kang

About

Dr. Jin-Hyoung Kang is a leading head and neck surgical oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing treatment outcomes and minimizing complications in patients undergoing surgery and radiation therapy. Her landmark work, "Soft Tissue Necrosis in Head and Neck Cancer Patients After Transoral Robotic Surgery or Wide Excision With Primary Closure Followed by Radiation Therapy," has been cited 28 times and critically evaluates risk factors for surgical bed soft tissue necrosis (STN) in patients treated with postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) following transoral robotic surgery (TORS) or wide excision. By systematically analyzing 67 patients and defining STN as ulceration, Dr. Kang provided essential clinical guidance for reducing treatment-related morbidity. Her contributions have shaped safer surgical and radiotherapy protocols, directly improving quality of life for head and neck cancer survivors. Dr. Kang’s work bridges surgical innovation and radiation oncology, offering evidence-based strategies to mitigate severe complications. Her research continues to influence multidisciplinary care, making her a respected authority in head and neck oncology and a vital resource for clinicians and researchers seeking to refine post-treatment outcomes.
