The special comprehensive division of the Department of Medical Oncology is committed to provide high standard professional services and to offer each patient the reasonable treatment and the most meticulous and considerate care.
We have rich experience in treating varieties of solid tumors, such as lung cancer, breast cancer, and digestive tract cancer (esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, colorectal cancer), blood malignant tumor (leukemia, malignant lymphoma, plasma cell tumors), the male and the female reproductive system tumor, urinary tract tumors, bone and joint soft tissue tumors, malignant melanoma, and head and neck malignant tumors. We possess expertise in treating elderly patients, especially those with high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary heart disease and other organ dysfunction.
Formerly known as geriatric cancer department, the division is proud of its medical staffs that possess rich clinical experience, superb medical, scientific research and teaching abilities. Currently, there are two chief physicians, one associate chief physician, four attending physicians, one resident and twenty nurses working in the division. Among them, two hold a MD degree and three hold a MS degree.
Besides the standard tumor specialist skills trainings, all staffs have to pass the specialist training of geriatrics. The division is known for its high professional levels and strong academic atmospheres. Chief physician Cai Xiaohong is the director of the Geriatric Oncology Society of Sichuan Anti-Cancer Association. Chief physician Yin Xude is the standing committee member of the Geriatric Oncology Society of Sichuan Anti-Cancer Association and the member of Geriatric Society of Sichuan medical Association. Several staffs also took part in the various levels of training at home and abroad and published high quality medical articles; nearly ten of them were published on SCI journals.
Standardization and individualization are two main principles followed in our practices. Besides conventional chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy, and immune biological, we also pay attention to the palliative care of cancer patients with a purpose to reduce patient's tumor load, and at the same time, to improve the patient's quality of life and comfort the patient and family psychologically.
Cadres health care is also a long-term important duty of the division. Over years, we have received commendations for our high-quality services to the national and provincial leaders.
