Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy started the conversation with the reporter with a very humble sentence: "I am lucky, I still have to try very hard". "I really feel very lucky and honored to be a student of Mr. Quang . He not only imparts knowledge and professional techniques in the operating room and in the lecture hall, but also inspires, motivates, encourages, and accompanies his students so that we always try our best. Besides, he also teaches about communication, how to live, how to treat people, especially with patients so that we can constantly improve ourselves" - Dr. Duy said.
But I know that to gain recognition in the profession, especially to become a global surgeon, and then to be trusted and loved by patients... it is a journey of effort to study, constantly improve, explore, and create for this young doctor.

As for Prof. Dr. Le Van Quang - Director of K Hospital, in the conversation with me when talking about his student Ngo Quoc Duy, he could not hide his pride. Because Duy and other excellent students are a part of his youth, where there is always enthusiasm, passion, love for the profession, desire to learn, improve expertise and scientific research. In addition, according to Prof. Quang, Dr. Duy is very good at foreign languages, so he presents international reports very well...
Over the years, young doctor Ngo Quoc Duy has devoted much of his energy to applying new techniques in the treatment of head and neck cancer, especially thyroid cancer. In the treatment of thyroid cancer, open surgery is the classic method of treatment, however, this incision often leaves a scar in the anterior neck area, affecting aesthetics. Under the guidance of his teacher - Professor, Dr. Le Van Quang, Dr. Duy has performed endoscopic thyroidectomy through the oral vestibule for many thyroid cancer patients.
This method has many outstanding advantages compared to other thyroid surgery methods, not only helping to increase survival time but also achieving the highest aesthetic value. In addition, Dr. Duy was also fortunate to be invited to report at the International Conference on Endoscopic Thyroid Surgery and directly teach foreign surgeons about this technique.

"I also successfully applied this technique on children with the largest number of patients successfully operated on at a medical facility reported in the medical literature. This study has opened a new step forward in the treatment of thyroid diseases in children. This result has also been published in the international journal Q1 with an IF index of 5.2 and reported at prestigious international conferences such as the 7th World Head and Neck Cancer Conference in Italy in June 2023, highly appreciated by experts." - Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy said.
Dr. Duy has also applied this approach in lateral neck lymph node dissection to treat thyroid cancer. The world's first video article on this technique has initially been recognized by international experts. This is demonstrated by being voted as one of the 10 best techniques at the 2021 International Congress of Surgical Oncology of the United States - SSO and published in the prestigious international journal Q1 with IF 3.7.

At the same time, under the guidance of the teachers, Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy has made further achievements and great contributions in the treatment of thyroid with the technique of robotic thyroidectomy through the oral vestibule in the treatment of thyroid cancer. This result was published in the international journal Q1 and is the first report in Southeast Asia to successfully implement the technique of robotic thyroidectomy through the oral vestibule in the treatment of thyroid cancer. This is a milestone marking the development of the surgical specialty in general, as well as in the field of thyroid surgery in particular in Vietnam.
Prof. Dr. Le Van Quang - Director of K Hospital congratulated Dr. Ngo Quoc Duy on receiving the "Outstanding Young Vietnamese Faces" Award in 2023.
A patient in Hai Phong who had surgery by Dr. Duy shared with me how lucky she was to be introduced to Dr. Duy. "Before meeting Dr. Duy, I was worried and stressed about my illness, but when the doctor examined me, he advised me on a treatment method suitable for my health condition and also encouraged me to feel secure because the disease was detected at an early stage, the surgery technique was quick, and there were many advantages of not leaving scars. After the surgery, the doctor was very attentive and gave me instructions when he came to check up. I really thank Dr. Duy" - the male patient said.
When I told him what the patient said about him, Dr. Duy just smiled and shared more, "K Hospital has a lot of patients, each case helps me grow professionally and each healthy patient gives us more motivation to do our job" - Dr. Duy said and shared more, he also encountered failures and shortcomings in his career, but each time like that, he looked back at himself seriously, listened to his teachers and colleagues to improve his skills more and more...
Young doctor Ngo Quoc Duy said: Teachers always remind us that medicine is always developing and there are more and more advances in diagnosis and treatment of diseases in general and cancer in particular. Therefore, researching and updating new diagnostic tools and treatment techniques to help improve survival time as well as enhance the quality of life for cancer patients is extremely necessary.
