About
Tomoya Tsukada is a clinical researcher whose work bridges the critical intersection of surgical oncology and neurorehabilitation. In the field of gastric cancer surgery, Tsukada led the landmark KSCC DELICATE study, a large-scale multicenter retrospective analysis demonstrating the importance of duodenal stump reinforcement to prevent life-threatening leakage after gastrectomy. This work, already cited 11 times since its 2024 publication, provides evidence-based guidance for reducing postoperative complications in one of the most common cancer surgeries worldwide. Simultaneously, Tsukada has made significant contributions to stroke rehabilitation, investigating how Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) training improves walking function. His 2022 study, with 6 citations, revealed a crucial mechanistic insight: gait improvement from robotic training is related to trunk verticality control, suggesting that postural alignment is a key therapeutic target. This finding helps explain why some stroke patients benefit more from robotic gait training than others. Tsukada’s dual expertise—applying rigorous multicenter methodology to surgical safety while exploring the neural mechanisms of robotic rehabilitation—demonstrates a uniquely translational approach to improving patient outcomes across the care continuum.
