About

Dr. Zhen Xue is a pioneering surgeon-researcher at the forefront of minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic gastrectomy. Over the past two years, Dr. Xue has produced a series of high-impact, comparative studies that systematically evaluate the clinical and economic advantages of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical approaches. A landmark 2023 prospective trial-based economic evaluation (17 citations) demonstrated that robotic distal gastrectomy offers superior value for locally advanced gastric cancer, providing critical evidence for resource allocation in high-volume centers. Dr. Xue’s work is particularly notable for its attention to vulnerable populations, including a propensity-matched study (16 citations) showing that robotic surgery yields better short-term outcomes than laparoscopy for elderly patients with advanced disease. Further research (11 citations) established robotic gastrectomy as a reliable option for overweight patients, addressing a historically challenging cohort. Most impressively, a comprehensive 5-year retrospective analysis of 527 patients (9 citations) optimized surgical performance metrics, defining the learning curve for robotic gastrectomy in a high-volume center. With over 50 total citations in just two years, Dr. Xue is rapidly shaping the global standard of care for gastric cancer surgery.
