Research Interests

Dr Chung is interested in developing new technologies in the treatment of both prostate and kidney cancer. He is studying the efficacy of minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques for kidney tumors, including cryotherapy, and in developing robotic and laparoscopic novel therapies in the treatment of prostate cancer. Dr Chung is also interested in the novel imaging modalities to improve the detection rate of kidney cancer.
