Professor Han was selected as the recipient for his paper titled "Long-term outcomes of laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer: Results of the KLASS-02-RCT randomized clinical trial," which confirmed that laparoscopic surgery has fewer complications compared to open surgery and that the 3-year recurrence-free survival rate is almost the same as open surgery.

Clinical Instructor Jeong, in his paper "Efficacy of the 'no zone' approach for evaluation of traumatic cervical injury: A case-control study," analyzed that recent treatment decisions for traumatic cervical injuries tend to be based on the patient's reported physical symptoms.

Associate Professor Lee, through his paper "The role of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio in predicting responsiveness to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer," suggested the possibility of predicting survival and recurrence rates in breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy by using neutrophil-lymphocyte and platelet-lymphocyte ratios in the blood.

The Doosan Yeongang Surgical Science Award was established in 2007 to promote the development of Korean surgery and encourage surgeons' research enthusiasm, and over the past 15 years, it has been awarded to 34 individuals.
