CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE

Nine entry points. Each has different hospitals, doctors, technologies and questions.

Choose by the problem you need to solve. Inside each COE, see clinical strengths, teams available for review, a case lens, records to prepare and source materials.

Oncology COE

Medical Oncology

It is not simply about choosing a drug. The team reviews pathology, biomarkers, previous treatment, fitness and family goals to frame the right clinical questions.

  • A new diagnosis requiring a complete treatment strategy
  • Advanced or recurrent cancer after multiple treatment lines
  • Questions about biomarkers, immunotherapy, targeted therapy or CAR-T

Teams to ask about: Tao Chen, Ye Gang

Oncology COE

Radiation Oncology

Start with the clinical target, not a machine name: lesion location, organ motion, prior radiation and surrounding healthy tissue shape the questions to answer.

  • Tumours that are difficult to operate on or need local control
  • Limited metastases in brain, lung, liver, bone or other sites
  • Lesions affected by breathing or close to critical organs

Teams to ask about: Wang Enmin, Yang Jun

Oncology COE

Surgical Oncology

A good surgical question is not only “can it be operated on?” It also covers surgical intent, resection boundaries, function to preserve, open versus minimally invasive access, and the plan after surgery.

  • A cancer diagnosis that may require resection
  • A second opinion after being told surgery is difficult or not possible
  • Questions about minimally invasive or robotic surgery

Teams to ask about: Ou Xiaowei, Zheng Bin

Cardiovascular COE

Heart & Vascular Care

One entry point for three very different questions: heart rhythm, difficult-to-control hypertension and structural heart disease.

  • Atrial fibrillation or another arrhythmia requiring review
  • Blood pressure remaining high despite optimised treatment
  • Valve stenosis, regurgitation or structural heart disease

Teams to ask about: Peng Yucheng

Orthopedics COE

Orthopedics & Spine

From complex scoliosis to worn joints, decisions start with the function to preserve—not with a robot or implant.

  • Progressive or complex paediatric or adolescent scoliosis
  • Adult deformity, pain, weakness or balance problems
  • Joint damage and preservation-versus-replacement questions

Teams to ask about: Yang Junlin, Chen Jiahua, Miao Guiqiang

Open the full COE profile

Urology COE

Urology

One pathway from urinary symptoms and stones to prostate, kidney and bladder cancer and robotic-surgery questions.

  • Raised PSA or suspected prostate cancer
  • Kidney, bladder, adrenal or ureteric mass
  • Kidney or ureteric stones and urinary obstruction

Teams to ask about: Zheng Bin, Song Shengsheng

Neurosciences COE

Neurosciences, Stroke & Neurosurgery

Four disciplines in one pathway: neurology, neurosurgery, neuro-intervention and neurological rehabilitation.

  • A second opinion after stroke or brain haemorrhage
  • Aneurysm, stenosis, occlusion or vascular malformation
  • Brain tumour, hydrocephalus or neurosurgical questions

Teams to ask about: Li Zhigang, Chen Wenming, Wu Xihua

Family Health COE

Women’s & Children’s Health

Two clear family pathways: Shanghai StarKids for children aged 0–18 and Shenzhen Hengsheng for reproductive and women’s health.

  • Paediatric surgery or a congenital condition
  • Growth, endocrine, nutrition, allergy or chronic paediatric disease
  • Behaviour, development, ADHD, autism or child mental health

Teams to ask about: Yang Xuan, Hu Xiuyu

Open the full COE profile

Plastic Surgery COE

Medical Aesthetics & Reconstruction

Plastic surgery as hospital care: aesthetic goals, reconstruction, risk, privacy, anaesthesia and recovery are discussed in one medical consultation.

  • Facial and jaw contouring
  • Aesthetic or reconstructive breast surgery
  • Eye and nose surgery or revision after a previous procedure

Teams to ask about: Li Shirong

Send a short diagnosis summary, family goal and list of available records. A coordinator helps identify which COE and member hospital should be asked to review the case—without making a diagnosis.
