About
Lan-Yan Yang is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery, with a primary focus on gynecologic oncology and thoracic surgery. Her work has fundamentally advanced the comparative evaluation of surgical techniques, particularly in the management of prostate and cervical cancers. Yang’s landmark 2020 study comparing 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT with multiparametric MRI in biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (16 citations) established critical diagnostic benchmarks for Taiwanese patients. She has made transformative contributions to cervical cancer treatment, notably through her 2024 comparison of laparotomic versus minimally invasive radical hysterectomy (7 citations), which directly informs surgical decision-making for early-stage disease. In thoracic surgery, Yang has pioneered the use of robotic endoscope holders in uniportal thoracoscopic procedures, demonstrating improved surgical efficacy and patient safety during the COVID-19 era (6 and 5 citations). Her most recent 2025 work redefines hysterectomy by comparing robotic-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) with conventional approaches. With over 35 total citations across her most influential papers, Yang continues to shape the future of surgical oncology through rigorous comparative effectiveness research.
