About
Dr. So Lyung Jung is a pioneering researcher in head and neck oncology and surgical rehabilitation, with a particular focus on the intersection of cancer treatment outcomes and advanced rehabilitation technologies. Her most cited work, a 2016 study on soft tissue necrosis (STN) in head and neck cancer patients, has garnered 28 citations and represents a critical contribution to the field. In this study, Dr. Jung systematically evaluated risk factors for STN in patients undergoing postoperative radiation therapy after transoral robotic surgery or wide excision with primary closure, providing essential guidance for clinicians to minimize treatment-related complications. This work has directly influenced surgical planning and radiation protocols, improving patient quality of life. Additionally, Dr. Jung has ventured into the emerging field of brain-machine interfaces, developing an integrated robot arm-gripper system controlled through non-invasive and less-invasive technologies. This innovative research, though earlier in its citation impact, demonstrates her commitment to translating engineering solutions into clinical applications for patients with motor impairments. Dr. Jung’s dual expertise in oncologic surgery and neurorehabilitation underscores her unique ability to bridge surgical oncology with cutting-edge assistive technology, making her a notable figure in both disciplines.
