魏國珍 醫師

Kuo-Chen Wei

清醒開顱術專家

腦部膠質瘤手術、顱底手術、清醒開顱手術

魏國珍醫師於1985自中山醫學大學醫學系畢業,1993年在林口長庚醫院完成神經外科專科訓練、升任主治醫師;基於對腦部腫瘤的研究熱忱,1999年遠赴美國加州大學舊金山分校腦瘤研究中心進修。

自2001年返國後,魏醫師隨即投入腦部腫瘤的基礎及臨床研究。2009年起,在長庚醫院組織了清醒開顱手術及手術中神經功能監測團隊,為的是執行高度侵犯性之腦瘤切除手術、在切除腫瘤的同時,亦保留住良好神經功能的目的;至今團隊每年完成60例以上的腦瘤清醒開顱手術,也是國內提供最多清醒開顱手術的團隊。魏醫師也積極引入跨國惡性腦瘤臨床試驗至長庚醫院,給予病患最新治療照護。

魏醫師主導了數項國內惡性腦瘤相關的開創性計畫,包含長期腦瘤世代基因研究、腦部藥物傳遞平台開發等大型計畫。豐碩研究成果除發表在國外具高影響力期刊之外,一項結合電機工程及奈米材料工程領域的世界技術領先成果:手術導航導引聚焦超音波系統(NaviFUS),於2018開始在國內進行惡性膠質母細胞瘤的前期臨床試驗、並由魏醫師擔任試驗主持人,冀希為惡性腦瘤治療提供一嶄新方向。
