About
Shou-Tung Chen is a breast surgical oncologist whose research centers on innovative surgical approaches to breast cancer treatment, with a particular focus on nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) techniques. His work has helped advance the adoption of minimal access surgical approaches — including endoscopic- and robotic-assisted procedures — as oncologically sound alternatives to conventional mastectomy, addressing a critical question facing surgeons and patients alike: whether less invasive techniques compromise cancer control outcomes. Chen's most recognized contribution to date examines long-term oncologic outcomes of minimal access NSM compared to conventional NSM through rigorous propensity score matching analysis, offering some of the highest-quality evidence available to guide clinical decision-making in this evolving field. By directly comparing survival and recurrence data across surgical approaches, his work provides surgeons with data-driven reassurance when offering patients the aesthetic and recovery benefits of minimally invasive mastectomy without sacrificing oncologic integrity. Though his publication record is still accumulating citations — reflecting the recency of this rapidly emerging field — Chen's research addresses questions of immediate clinical relevance. His contributions position him as an important voice in the ongoing effort to refine breast cancer surgery toward outcomes that honor both survival and quality of life.
