About
Dr. Yuan‐Tzu Lan is a pioneering surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery. Her research 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. Lan’s landmark study, “Initial Experience of Robotic Gastrectomy and Comparison with Open and Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer” (133 citations), provided critical early evidence that robotic approaches could match or surpass traditional methods in safety and efficacy. She further elucidated the learning curves for these techniques in a highly cited 2014 paper (102 citations), offering invaluable guidance for surgeons adopting robotic platforms. Her innovative pilot study on indocyanine green lymph node mapping (65 citations) introduced a novel method for real-time lymphatic visualization during robotic gastrectomy, enhancing the accuracy of lymphadenectomy. Through these contributions, Dr. Lan has not only demonstrated the viability of robotic gastrectomy but has also shaped best practices for its implementation, making her a leading voice in the ongoing evolution of gastric cancer treatment.
