Research
I am a general thoracic surgeon specializing in the surgical treatment of thoracic tumors, such as lung cancer, esophageal cancer, mediastinal tumors and chest wall tumors. I had performed clinical research work and received training at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center between Jan 2014 and May 2015. I have extensive experience in minimally invasive approaches in surgical treatment of thoracic cancers, such as robotic thoracic surgeries and video assisted thoracic surgeries (VATS). I’m also leading multiple RCTs in thoracic surgical oncology and doing translational research in lung cancer.
