About
Dr. Tae Gyun Lee is a leading surgical oncologist whose research focuses on the molecular biology of colorectal cancer and the advancement of minimally invasive liver surgery. His seminal work has provided critical insights into the prognostic significance of specific *KRAS* mutations, demonstrating that codon 12 mutations, unlike those in codon 13, carry distinct and clinically meaningful prognostic value for colorectal cancer patients. This finding has helped refine risk stratification and guide personalized treatment strategies. Beyond molecular oncology, Dr. Lee is a pioneer in robotic liver resection (RLR), contributing to international consensus statements that establish best practices and validate the technical and oncologic benefits of the robotic approach. His work in this area has helped resolve longstanding controversies, showing that RLR can offer superior outcomes in select cases. With over a decade of impactful publications, including highly cited papers that shape clinical guidelines, Dr. Lee’s research bridges the gap between tumor biology and surgical innovation, making him a respected voice in both hepatobiliary and colorectal cancer care.
