About
Yoo‑Na Kim is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on refining surgical techniques and improving oncologic outcomes in endometrial cancer. Her work centers on sentinel lymph node mapping and the impact of uterine manipulation during minimally invasive surgery. In her highly cited 2020 study, she compared one‑step and two‑step sentinel lymph node mapping techniques, providing critical evidence that helps surgeons select the most effective and least invasive approach for endometrial cancer staging. Her 2023 investigation into the clinical relevance of uterine manipulation during robot‑assisted versus open surgery further advanced the field, demonstrating that surgical tools and techniques can influence survival outcomes. With over 25 citations across her most influential papers, Kim’s contributions are shaping best practices in gynecologic oncology. Her meticulous analyses of procedural nuances—from lymph node mapping to the use of uterine manipulators—have direct implications for patient prognosis and quality of life. A dedicated clinician‑researcher, Kim continues to bridge the gap between surgical innovation and evidence‑based care, making her a respected voice in the ongoing effort to optimize endometrial cancer management.
