About
In-Seob Lee is a pioneering surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive oncologic surgery, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted procedures for esophageal and gastric cancers. His work addresses the critical challenge of performing complex resections in patients who have undergone neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (nCRT), a cohort often considered high-risk for surgical complications. Lee’s landmark 2019 study on robot-assisted transthoracic esophagectomy (RAMIE) in advanced esophageal cancer after nCRT, which has garnered 26 citations, demonstrated that robotic techniques can achieve safe and effective oncologic outcomes even in this difficult setting, expanding the therapeutic arsenal against locally advanced disease. Beyond esophageal surgery, Lee has critically evaluated the evidence for robotic gastrectomy, authoring a comprehensive 2022 review of recent randomized controlled trials that clarifies the current status and potential advantages of robotic platforms over conventional laparoscopy for gastric cancer. His contributions are instrumental in defining best practices and guiding the adoption of robotic surgery, ultimately aiming to improve recovery and survival for patients facing these formidable cancers.
