Professor Joon Jeong's research lab focuses on surgical oncology and cancer biology, with a particular emphasis on improving outcomes in breast and pancreatic cancer. The lab investigates surgical techniques—such as nipple-sparing mastectomy and incision types—to minimize complications and optimize patient outcomes. It also explores the biological mechanisms of cancer, including tumor suppressor protein expression (e.g., p16 and p53) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, aiming to enhance early diagnosis and therapeutic strategies. Additionally, the lab examines sociocultural and clinical factors influencing treatment decisions, such as the interruption of endocrine therapy for pregnancy in breast cancer patients.

Compared with IMF incision, periareolar incision was associated with higher incidences of surgical complications and NAC necrosis. Careful consideration is needed when planning NSM in patients with a large breast volume or a tumor close to the nipple.
The characteristics of participants in the POSITIVE study provide insights to which patients and doctors considered it acceptable to interrupt ET to pursue pregnancy. Similarities and variations from a regional, sociodemographic, disease and treatment standpoint suggest specific sociocultural attitudes across the world.
Pancreatic cancer is a disease with poor prognosis mainly due to low resection rates and late diagnosis. To increase resectability and improve survival rates, a better understanding of pancreatic cancer pathogenesis and more effective screening techniques are required. New methods, such as genetic and molecular alterations, may suggest novel approaches for pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment. We immunohistochemically investigated 44 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens of pancreatic
