About

Qi-Yue Chen is a prominent surgical oncologist whose research sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery and gastric cancer management. With a focus on optimizing surgical approaches for resectable gastric cancer, Chen has made significant contributions to advancing the evidence base for robotic and laparoscopic gastrectomy techniques. His most notable work, a landmark randomized phase 2 trial comparing robotic versus laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, enrolled 300 patients over a multi-year period and provided some of the first high-quality randomized evidence addressing survival differences between these two increasingly adopted approaches — a critical gap in the surgical literature that the study's 42 citations reflect in its rapid uptake by the research community. By rigorously evaluating patients across a range of clinical stages (cT1-4a, N0/+), Chen's work addresses real-world surgical decision-making and has meaningful implications for both clinical practice and future trial design. His research exemplifies the growing movement toward evidence-driven adoption of robotic surgery, positioning him as a key voice in shaping modern standards for gastric cancer treatment and surgical innovation.
