About
Zhigang Cheng is a leading researcher in interventional oncology, specializing in the development and clinical application of robotic systems for minimally invasive cancer treatments. His work primarily focuses on integrating multimodality imaging with robotic precision to improve outcomes in liver tumor ablation and resection. Cheng’s major contributions include the design and preclinical validation of a multimodality imaging-compatible insertion robot equipped with a respiratory motion calibration module, which significantly enhances targeting accuracy during percutaneous ablation of liver tumors. This innovation addresses a critical challenge in real-time tumor tracking, with his foundational 2018 study accumulating 15 citations. He has also advanced comparative effectiveness research, as demonstrated by his 2021 real-world study comparing percutaneous microwave ablation to robot-assisted hepatectomy for early hepatocellular carcinoma, which has garnered 8 citations. By bridging engineering and clinical practice, Cheng’s work not only refines surgical precision but also provides evidence-based guidance for treatment selection. His research is instrumental in shaping the next generation of image-guided, robot-assisted interventions, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of interventional oncology.
