About
Hironori Iwasaki is a leading figure in gastrointestinal surgical oncology, with a primary focus on improving outcomes in gastric cancer surgery. His research centers on preventing life-threatening complications after gastrectomy, particularly duodenal stump leakage—a rare but devastating event. In his landmark multicenter study, the KSCC DELICATE study (2024), Iwasaki led a large-scale retrospective analysis of over 1,000 patients, demonstrating that routine reinforcement of the duodenal stump significantly reduces leakage rates. This work, already cited 11 times, provides a critical evidence-based strategy for surgeons worldwide, directly influencing operative protocols. Beyond this, Iwasaki has contributed to optimizing lymphadenectomy techniques and perioperative management, aiming to balance oncologic radicality with patient safety. His collaborative efforts within the Kyushu Study Group of Clinical Cancer (KSCC) highlight his commitment to generating high-quality, practice-changing data. With a growing citation impact, Iwasaki’s research is shaping modern gastric cancer surgery, offering tangible solutions to reduce morbidity and improve recovery for patients undergoing gastrectomy.
