Steven Sun

Steven Sun's work spans cancer surgery and tumor immunology, with a focus on how the immune system is suppressed during cancer progression and how surgical approaches can be combined with other treatments for soft-tissue tumors like liposarcoma and melanoma. A recurring topic is myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), a type of immune cell that helps tumors evade immune attack, and methods to detect or target them using nanotechnology-based tools.

Publication output has been relatively steady but modest over the past decade, with a notable spike in 2020 followed by a consistent pace of around 3-4 papers per year through 2025.
