Research summary
AI-generated

Anthony D. Yang conducts research in surgical oncology, focusing on improving the quality and safety of cancer surgery. Much of the work centers on large-scale quality improvement collaboratives (organized efforts across many hospitals to standardize and improve care), postoperative outcomes such as blood clots after abdominal and gastrointestinal cancer surgery, and emerging applications of artificial intelligence and large language models as clinical decision-support tools. The research spans pancreatic, colon, and lung cancers as well as broader patient-safety topics.
