About
A pioneer in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, Dr. Soo-Jeong Cho has fundamentally advanced the field through her landmark comparative studies of robotic and laparoscopic techniques. Her most cited work, including a 2011 study demonstrating that robot-assisted total gastrectomy is comparable to laparoscopically assisted total gastrectomy for early gastric cancer (125 citations), established critical evidence for the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches. In a parallel 2011 study (102 citations), she systematically compared surgical performance and short-term clinical outcomes between laparoscopic and robotic distal gastrectomy, providing surgeons with essential data to guide operative decision-making. These contributions have been instrumental in validating robotic gastrectomy as a viable, reproducible alternative to conventional laparoscopy, particularly for early-stage disease. By rigorously evaluating surgical metrics and patient outcomes, Dr. Cho has helped define the standards for minimally invasive gastric cancer treatment, influencing clinical practice worldwide. Her work continues to shape the evolution of surgical oncology, offering patients less invasive options without compromising oncologic outcomes.
