About
Dr. Su-Shun Lo is a distinguished surgical oncologist whose research focuses on improving outcomes for elderly gastric cancer patients through minimally invasive surgical techniques. His most cited work, a 2017 retrospective cohort study comparing minimally invasive surgery (MIS) to open surgery in octogenarian and older gastric cancer patients, has garnered 21 citations and provides critical evidence that MIS offers significant benefits—including reduced complications and faster recovery—for this vulnerable population. By analyzing data from 359 patients who underwent curative surgery between 2011 and 2015, Dr. Lo demonstrated that age alone should not preclude elderly patients from receiving advanced surgical care. His contributions have helped shift clinical practice toward more tailored, less invasive approaches for older adults, addressing the challenges of an aging global population. Dr. Lo’s research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and geriatric oncology, making him a key voice in optimizing treatment strategies for gastric cancer patients across all age groups.
