About
Dr. Su-Shun Lo is a leading surgical oncologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery. His work focuses on the comparative effectiveness and technical refinement of laparoscopic and robotic gastrectomy, with a particular emphasis on improving oncologic outcomes and surgical precision. Dr. Lo’s seminal 2012 study, which has garnered over 130 citations, was among the first to systematically compare robotic gastrectomy with both open and laparoscopic approaches, establishing the safety and feasibility of the robotic technique. He further defined the field by analyzing the learning curves for these complex procedures, demonstrating that robotic gastrectomy can be mastered with a shorter learning curve than its laparoscopic counterpart—a finding that has guided surgical training worldwide. More recently, Dr. Lo has pioneered the use of indocyanine green fluorescence for real-time lymph node mapping during robotic gastrectomy, a technique that enhances the accuracy of lymphadenectomy and has been cited over 60 times. His comprehensive reviews on the subject have cemented his reputation as a thought leader, making his work essential reading for any surgeon or researcher dedicated to advancing the treatment of gastric cancer.
