I graduated at Guangzhou Medical University as a  MD in 2006. During 2006-2012, I finished my post graduated training in Sun Yat-Sen University  Cancer Center. After that I was trained as a research fellow in one of the most famous kidney cancer center- The Cleveland Clinic. From then on I work as a full-time faculty in Sun Yat-Sen University  Cancer Center as a urologist. I am skilled in treating urological cancer, especially renal cancer, bladder cancer and prostate cancer with both minimally invasive surgery and open surgery.

Urological cancer, especially renal cancer, bladder cancer, minimally invasive surgery and preservation of renal function.
