About the Lab
Professor Sin-Hye Hwang's research lab specializes in clinical and translational research focused on gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary diseases, with a strong emphasis on early detection, risk stratification, and personalized management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and biliary tract disorders. The lab investigates surveillance strategies, imaging biomarkers, and clinical risk factors—including family history and ultrasonographic features—for thyroid nodules and other endocrine and gastrointestinal pathologies. A key focus is on understanding the pathophysiology of oral candidiasis and its impact on taste function, as well as optimizing diagnostic pathways for common biliary conditions such as common bile duct stones.

4Purpose: To assess associations between surveillance intervals in a national hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance programand receiving curative treatment and mortality using nationwide cohort data for Korea. Materials and Methods: Using the National Health Insurance Service Database of Korea, we retrospectively identified 3201852 patients,the target population of the national HCC surveillance program, between 2008 and 2017. After exclusion, a total of 64674 HCCpatients were divided based
Respiratory motion does not significantly affect the measurement of ATI or UGAP. Median ATI value showed excellent agreement in FB and BH status, while UGAP showed good agreement. Younger age may affect measurement variability in FB status of the normal group using ATI.
Objective: To determine the factors associated with thyroid cancer, focusing on first-degree family history and ultrasonography (US) features, in euthyroid asymptomatic patients with thyroid nodules. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 1310 thyroid nodules of 1254 euthyroid asymptomatic patients who underwent US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy between November 2012 and August 2013. Nodule size and clinical risk factors–such as patient age, gender, first-degree family hi
총담관결석의 진단은 환자의 임상 양상과 여러 혈액, 영상 및 내시경검사 등을 통해 이루어진다. 총담관결석이 의심되는 환자에서 초기검사로 간기능검사와 복부초음파 혹은 복부 CT를 시행할 수 있으며, 이러한 초기검사 결과를 바탕으로 총담관결석의 저위험군, 중등도위험군 및 고위험군으로 분류할 수 있다. 총담관결석의 저위험군은 간기능검사가 정상이고 영상검사에서 총담관의 확장이 나타나지 않는 경우로, 이러한환자에서는 총담관결석을 시사하는 증상이 지속되지 않는 한, 추가적인 검사는 필요하지 않다. 총담관결석의 중등도위험군은 간기능검사에서 이상을 보이거나, 영상검사에서 총담관 확장을 보이는 경우로, EUS나 MRCP 검사를 추가로 시행할 수 있으며, 추가 검사에서 총담관결석이 확인되는 경우 ERCP의 시행이 필요하다. 총담관결석의 고위험군은 임상적으로 담관염이 있거나 영상검사에서 총담관결석이 확인되는 경우이며, 다른 추가 검사 없이 진단 및 치료 목적으로 ERCP 시행이 권고된다.
