Shanghai
One of China’s oldest cancer hospitals (est. 1931), nationally leading in breast and pancreatic cancer outcomes.
Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center is one of China’s oldest cancer specialty hospitals (founded in 1931 as the Sino-Belgian Radium Institute), internationally renowned for breast cancer, head-and-neck tumors, soft-tissue tumors and pathology — its pathology department is the national consultation center for difficult cases.
The hospital runs integrated outpatient–inpatient–follow-up continuum management, and its multidisciplinary breast-cancer model has become a national paradigm; the Pudong campus further expands radiotherapy and international-care capacity.
01Top-tier breast cancer program
Its breast MDT handles among the largest annual volumes in China, with leading breast-conservation and reconstruction rates; the “Fudan classification” for triple-negative breast cancer entered international guideline discussions.
02National pathology consultation center
The pathology department completes tens of thousands of outside difficult-case reviews annually and is nationally authoritative for soft-tissue tumor and lymphoma diagnostics.
03Function-preserving head-and-neck surgery
The head-and-neck team is highly experienced in function-preserving surgery and immediate reconstruction for thyroid, oral and laryngeal cancers, markedly improving postoperative quality of life.
Prof. Shao Zhimin’s team proposed the molecular subtyping of triple-negative breast cancer (Fudan classification), enabling subtype-guided precision treatment; results were published in Cancer Cell and translated into clinical trial series.
One of the first centers in China to establish a breast cancer MDT clinic; annual breast surgery volume ranks among the nation’s highest, with 5-year survival at an internationally advanced level.
