研究室紹介
Professor Joo Hyun Nam's research lab focuses on gynecologic oncology, particularly fertility-sparing surgical interventions for early-stage cervical and ovarian cancers, with an emphasis on long-term oncologic and reproductive outcomes. The lab also investigates molecular mechanisms underlying skin photoaging, especially the role of calcium channels (e.g., TRPV1, ORAI1) and natural compounds like *Cyperus rotundus* extract in modulating these pathways. Additionally, the lab explores cellular signaling mechanisms involving phosphoinositide metabolism and mechanosensitive ion channel regulation in immune cells. These interdisciplinary efforts bridge clinical surgery, molecular pharmacology, and cell signaling to improve patient outcomes and identify novel therapeutic targets.

15OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the long-term outcomes and risk factors for recurrence after fertility-sparing laparoscopic radical trachelectomy (LRT) in young women with early-stage cervical cancer. METHODS: Eighty-eight consecutive patients from four tertiary cancer centers in Korea who had attempted fertility-sparing LRT for early-stage cervical cancer were included in this study. RESULTS: Seventy-nine patients completed LRT. The mean age and tumor size were 31 years (range, 20-40 years) and 1.8 cm
OBJECTIVES: To compare survival and surgical outcomes of laparoscopic (LRH) and open radical hysterectomy (ORH) in patients with stage IB2 and IIA2 cervical cancer. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 303 patients with stage IB2 and IIA2 cervical cancer who underwent LRH (n = 115) or ORH (n = 188). RESULTS: Two patients (1.7%) in the LRH group required conversion to laparotomy. There was no difference with respect to operating time, perioperative change in hemoglobin level, and ne
