About
Wen-Pei Wu is a pioneering breast surgeon whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques and imaging evaluation for early-stage breast cancer. Her most impactful research focuses on robotic-assisted nipple-sparing mastectomy (R-NSM), a minimally invasive approach that preserves the nipple-areola complex while achieving oncologic safety. In her landmark 2023 study, Wu prospectively used magnetic resonance imaging to quantify residual breast tissue (RBT) after R-NSM—a critical yet underexplored factor that may influence local recurrence risk. By demonstrating that MRI can reliably detect RBT, she provided surgeons with a powerful tool to assess surgical completeness and guide postoperative surveillance. This work, already garnering 5 citations shortly after publication, addresses a key gap in the literature and has direct implications for reducing recurrence in women with early breast cancer. Wu’s contributions bridge surgical innovation and radiologic precision, offering patients both cosmetic preservation and rigorous oncologic oversight. Her research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers seeking to refine risk-reducing and curative mastectomy protocols.
