Dr. Ming-Yuan Chen is currently a professor in the department of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) at Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center, Guangzhou, China. He specializes in NPC medical oncology and is a renowned oncology expert in China. Since 2015 he has been the deputy director of the department of NPC. In 2019, Dr. Chen organized and founded the Professional Committee of NPC of Guangdong Provincial Anticancer Association and was appointed the president. As a clinical scientist, Dr. Chen’s primary research interests focus on the comprehensive strategy and molecular mechanism of refractory NPC, especially recurrent, metastatic and necrotic NPC. 

Dr. Chen has devoted himself to establishing the minimally invasive surgery treatment system of NPC. He pioneered the use of minimally invasive surgery in recurrent and necrotizing NPC, which improved the overall survival of patients by 20%. Dr. Chen was the first person who applied minimally invasive surgery to early stage I NPC patients internationally, which revolutionized the treatment strategy for stage I NPC. In order to select proper patients for minimally invasive surgery, he established a new staging system for recurrent and necrotic NPC. A series of research achievements have been adopted by NPC clinical guidelines including the United Kingdom, the American College of Radiology and the China Anticancer Association, and he was awarded with the second prize in the Guangdong Medical Science and Technology Awards. Dr. Chen also became the first man in the Chinese Mainland that set up a course about minimally invasive surgery in American Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at the 120th Annual Meeting (AAO-HNSF). 

To deal with intractable metastasis in NPC, Dr Chen has also carried out several phase III multicenter randomized clinical trials and found that locoregional radiotherapy with chemotherapy improved overall survival by 21.9% in de novo metastatic NPC compared to chemotherapy alone, while neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by CCRT can reduce the risk of metastasis by 9.7% in local-regionally NPC patients compared to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Furthermore, he built a new molecular stage by combining the expression of p62 and N stage to identify patients that will be benefit from NAC followed by CCRT. A series of research achievements have meant the rewriting of the NPC National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines and he was awarded Clinical Cancer Advances 2021 by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). Dr. Chen was invited to orally report these achievements at ASCO and the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) in 2019. 

To uncover the molecular mechanism of recurrent and metastatic NPC, Dr. Chen has also performed genetic evolutionary analysis using multi-omics sequencing of paired primary tumors, recurrent tumors and metastasis samples, and portrayed the genetic evolutionary landscape of recurrent and metastatic NPC. Prof. David AB from Harvard University comments that this study provides a perfect example about how to track the evolutionary trajectory of NPC. Dr. Chen has published more than 40 peer-reviewed papers as corresponding or first author, including some papers in renowned journals such as JAMA Oncology, The Lancet Oncology, Cancer Research, Clinical Cancer Research, Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and Autophagy.

Dr. Chen has devoted himself to proposing the comprehensive effective treatment strategy through a series clinical trials for refractory nasopharyngeal carcinoma including recurrent, metastatic, and necrotic Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma, and unveiling the molecular mechanism of refractory nasopharyngeal carcinoma based on genetic and biological studies.
