Chia-Lin Bhatt is an expert in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, which accounts for the majority of esophageal cancer in Asian populations. Her research has examined epidemiological risk factors including alcohol-acetaldehyde metabolism and nutritional deficiencies driving esophageal SCC in East Asia. She has evaluated endoscopic screening and surveillance protocols using Lugol's chromoendoscopy for early detection in high-risk populations. Her clinical research has optimized preoperative chemoradiation approaches and assessed the impact of molecular markers on outcomes after esophagectomy.
