Dr. Liu Wenyi | Health Sciences | Best Researcher Award

Cancer Hospital Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences | China

Dr. Liu Wenyi is a thoracic-surgery specialist whose research focuses on advanced treatments for thoracic malignancies especially esophageal and lung cancers emphasising organ-preservation strategies, neoadjuvant chemo-/chemo-immunotherapy, imaging- and machine-learning-based response assessment, and translational biomarkers for surgical decision-making. His work has contributed to the evolving paradigm of less-invasive surgery and more personalised multimodal care. For example, his recent narrative review “Organ Preservation in Esophageal Cancer: Current Strategies, Challenges, and Future Directions” is a state-of-the-field synthesis published in Cancers highlighting novel surveillance-based approaches in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. His Google Scholar/Scopus profile indicates approximately 10 publications and a current h-index of 5 (citations ~80) under his name. This volume reflects a mid-career emerging investigator whose trajectory is marked by high-impact topics (thoracic oncology, immunotherapy, AI-enabled imaging) and whose top publications already appear in high-visibility journals. Dr. Liu’s work is characterized by integrating minimally invasive surgical techniques, cutting-edge neoadjuvant systemic treatments and advanced predictive modelling to stratify patients for surgical risk and organ-sparing pathways thus contributing to both improved patient quality of life and optimized oncologic outcomes.His outstanding contributions to clinical innovation and scientific research excellence reflect strong merit for recognition under the Best Researcher Award .
