About
Liqiao Fan is a leading surgical oncologist whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for gastric cancer treatment, particularly through robotic and laparoscopic approaches. Fan’s major contributions center on optimizing lymph node dissection—a critical factor in gastric cancer prognosis—by pioneering the use of carbon nanoparticle suspension injection (CNSI) and indocyanine green (ICG) tracers. Their landmark 2021 study, cited 35 times, provided the first comparative analysis of CNSI and ICG in robotic distal gastrectomy, demonstrating enhanced lymph node visualization and perioperative safety. This was followed by a 2022 study (28 citations) that systematically established the diagnostic value of CNSI lymphography. Fan also conducted pivotal meta-analyses comparing Da Vinci robotic versus laparoscopic distal subtotal gastrectomy (17 citations), and in 2023, published critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted gastrectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (18 citations). By integrating advanced tracer technologies with robotic precision, Fan has helped refine surgical standards, improving both the accuracy of lymph node dissection and patient outcomes in gastric cancer surgery.
