About
Sho Sato is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on improving outcomes in gastric cancer surgery through advanced intraoperative techniques. His most influential work centers on the use of indocyanine green (ICG)-guided lymphadenectomy during gastrectomy, a method designed to enhance the precision of lymph node dissection and potentially improve patient survival. In his landmark 2025 individual patient data meta-analysis, Sato synthesized evidence from multiple trials to evaluate the survival impact of ICG-guided lymphadenectomy, demonstrating its role in optimizing surgical accuracy. This work, already garnering early citations, addresses a critical debate in oncologic surgery. Beyond this, Sato’s research portfolio includes contributions to minimally invasive surgical approaches and perioperative care, with his studies collectively cited over 5 times—a notable figure for a recent high-impact publication. His meta-analysis represents a significant methodological contribution, providing robust, patient-level evidence that guides clinical decision-making. For students and researchers, Sato’s work exemplifies how translational surgical research can directly influence practice, bridging the gap between innovative imaging technology and tangible patient outcomes in gastric cancer management.
