About
Dr. Yun Hee Lee is a leading head and neck surgical oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing treatment outcomes and minimizing complications in patients undergoing surgery and radiation therapy for head and neck cancers. Her most cited work, a 2016 study on soft tissue necrosis (STN), critically evaluated risk factors for this debilitating complication in patients treated with transoral robotic surgery (TORS) or wide excision followed by postoperative radiation therapy. By analyzing 67 patients and defining STN as ulceration, Dr. Lee provided essential clinical insights that help surgeons and radiation oncologists refine treatment protocols to reduce morbidity. This landmark paper has garnered 28 citations, reflecting its influence on surgical oncology and radiation oncology practice. Beyond this study, Dr. Lee’s broader contributions include advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and improving quality of life for head and neck cancer survivors. Her work bridges the gap between aggressive tumor resection and functional preservation, making her a respected voice in the field. For students and researchers, Dr. Lee’s research exemplifies how careful complication analysis can directly shape safer, more effective cancer care.
