About

Khean-Lee Goh is a distinguished researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical robotics, image-guided interventions, and oncological treatment. Best known for pioneering contributions to robotic-assisted liver tumor ablation, Goh's research has advanced the precision and safety of minimally invasive cancer therapies. His landmark studies on robotic-assisted thermal ablation and CT-compatible robotic systems for radiofrequency ablation of primary and secondary liver tumors — garnering 63 and 51 citations respectively — demonstrated that robotic guidance could significantly improve needle placement accuracy while reducing radiation exposure to both clinical staff and patients. These early investigations helped establish a compelling foundation for the broader adoption of robotic platforms in interventional oncology. Beyond liver-directed therapies, Goh has contributed meaningfully to the management of esophageal cancer, advocating for stage-directed, individualized treatment strategies that reflect both the complexity of the disease and the evolving landscape of staging and therapeutic technologies. With a body of work spanning robotic surgery, ablative techniques, and gastrointestinal oncology, Goh's research continues to inform clinicians and investigators seeking safer, more effective approaches to cancer care.
