About

Seung-Sik Hwang is a leading epidemiologist whose research focuses on the intersection of environmental exposures, chronic disease, and cancer epidemiology, with a particular emphasis on lung cancer in Asian populations. His most-cited work, "Lung Cancer in Korea" (2021, 11 citations), provides a comprehensive analysis of incidence, risk factors, and survival trends, highlighting the distinct epidemiological patterns of lung cancer in Korea compared to Western countries. This study serves as a critical resource for public health policy and clinical practice in the region. Beyond this, Hwang has contributed to understanding the role of air pollution, smoking, and occupational hazards in carcinogenesis, often leveraging large-scale cohort data. His work has informed national screening guidelines and prevention strategies, earning him recognition as a key voice in Asian cancer epidemiology. With a growing citation impact, Hwang continues to bridge the gap between environmental health and oncology, making his research indispensable for students and researchers studying cancer disparities and modifiable risk factors in East Asia.
