About
Yuzhong Chen is a clinical researcher whose work bridges surgical oncology and mental health, with a focus on the psychological outcomes of patients undergoing advanced surgical procedures. His key research areas include minimally invasive surgery, particularly Da Vinci robot-assisted techniques, and the quantification of perioperative psychological distress. Chen’s most notable contribution is his 2020 study comparing depression and anxiety in patients receiving Da Vinci robot-assisted radical gastrectomy versus open radical gastrectomy. This partially randomized patient preference trial, cited 5 times, provided early evidence that robotic surgery may influence psychological recovery, identifying independent factors affecting mental health outcomes. By systematically quantifying emotional distress alongside surgical efficacy, Chen has highlighted the importance of holistic patient care in oncology. His work underscores the need to consider both physical and psychological recovery in surgical decision-making, offering valuable insights for clinicians and researchers aiming to improve quality of life after major cancer surgery.
