• Oncology Medicine

Cancer, as the major lethal disease of human beings, is a serious threat to human life. In China, along with rapid industrialization and urbanization, the quality of the environment is deteriorating, leading to an increasing incidence of cancers such as lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the 2016 National Conference on Health and Wellness that emphasis must be placed on the prevention and control of major diseases, with cancer and other breakthroughs, strengthening early screening and early detection, and promoting early diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, tumor prevention and control, as a key national strategy, needs to focus key attacks. The Oncology Medical Center will gather teams of talents with multidisciplinary backgrounds in clinical oncology medicine, respiratory medicine, general surgery, molecular biology, bioinformatics, basic medicine, immunology, biomaterials, nanomedicine and molecular imaging technology to collaborate in research, and will carry out frontier basic research in oncology medicine, advanced technology development in oncology diagnosis and treatment, and clinical translational research.
