About Dr. Jiang Ying
Dr. Jiang Ying is a Chief Physician (主任医师), Associate Professor, and Master's Supervisor in the Department of General Surgery at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. A doctoral graduate of Zhongshan Hospital's surgical program (2002), Dr. Jiang subsequently completed advanced postdoctoral training in breast surgery at the Department of Breast Surgery, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) in Japan — an internationally recognized center of excellence in breast oncology. This dual Chinese-Japanese academic foundation gives Dr. Jiang a uniquely broad perspective on surgical oncology that integrates Eastern and Western approaches to thyroid and breast cancer management.
Dr. Jiang's research program is supported by competitive national funding, including grants from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the Ministry of Education Doctoral Program Fund. She has published over 20 papers in peer-reviewed journals, including 4 SCI-indexed publications, reflecting a sustained commitment to advancing the evidence base for thyroid and breast surgical oncology.
Clinical Expertise
- Thyroid cancer surgery — total thyroidectomy and hemithyroidectomy for papillary, follicular, and medullary thyroid carcinoma; central and lateral neck dissection; management of recurrent or locally advanced thyroid cancer
- Minimally invasive thyroid surgery — endoscopic and robotic-assisted thyroidectomy via remote access approaches (transoral, transaxillary) with no visible neck scar; a particular area of research focus
- Breast cancer surgery — breast-conserving surgery, mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and axillary dissection; oncoplastic techniques for optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes
- Minimally invasive breast surgery — minimally invasive approaches to breast tumor resection and biopsy, informed by her postdoctoral training in Japan
- Comprehensive treatment coordination — integration of surgery with systemic therapy, radiation, and targeted agents for both thyroid and breast cancer
- Gastrointestinal tumor surgery — surgical management of gastric and colorectal tumors as part of her general surgery background
- Abdominal wall hernia repair — laparoscopic and open repair of inguinal, umbilical, and incisional hernias
Why Dr. Jiang Ying?
Dr. Jiang's postdoctoral training at Tokyo Medical and Dental University — one of Japan's leading academic medical institutions — is a distinguishing credential that reflects both her surgical ambition and her commitment to international standards of care. Japan has long been at the forefront of minimally invasive surgical techniques and precision oncology, and Dr. Jiang's exposure to this environment has directly shaped her approach to thyroid and breast surgery.
Her active research program — funded by the NSFC and focused on minimally invasive surgery and comprehensive treatment for thyroid and breast disease — means that her clinical practice is continuously informed by the latest evidence. For patients seeking a surgeon who is not just technically skilled but also intellectually engaged with the frontier of her field, Dr. Jiang's profile is compelling.
As a Master's Supervisor at Fudan University, Dr. Jiang also contributes to the training of the next generation of surgical oncologists — a role that reflects the academic community's confidence in her expertise and judgment.
Hospital: Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University
Zhongshan Hospital is one of China's most prestigious academic medical centers, consistently ranked among the top hospitals in the country. Its Department of General Surgery and Thyroid & Breast Surgery is recognized as one of Shanghai's strongest in this specialty, with a high annual surgical volume, advanced intraoperative monitoring technology, and a multidisciplinary tumor board for complex cases. The hospital's research infrastructure supports Dr. Jiang's NSFC-funded projects and provides her patients with access to the latest clinical trial opportunities.
About Thyroid Cancer & Minimally Invasive Surgery
Thyroid cancer is the most rapidly rising cancer globally, with the majority of cases being papillary thyroid carcinoma — a highly treatable malignancy when managed with appropriate surgery. Minimally invasive approaches have transformed the patient experience of thyroid surgery, particularly for younger patients and those with cosmetic concerns. Key facts:
- Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA): incisions inside the lower lip leave no visible external scar; suitable for tumors ≤4 cm without extrathyroidal extension or lateral lymph node metastases
- Transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy: single axillary incision hidden in the armpit; da Vinci robotic system provides magnified 3D visualization and precise instrument control
- Oncological equivalence: high-volume studies confirm that minimally invasive thyroid surgery achieves equivalent oncological outcomes to open surgery when performed by experienced surgeons
- Intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM): continuous monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve function reduces the risk of permanent voice change to <1% at experienced centers
- Active surveillance: for very low-risk papillary microcarcinomas (≤1 cm), active surveillance is an internationally accepted alternative to immediate surgery in selected patients
What to Prepare Before Your Consultation
To enable Dr. Jiang's team to conduct a thorough remote case review, international patients should prepare:
- Neck ultrasound report with measurements and characteristics of thyroid nodules and cervical lymph nodes
- FNA cytology report (Bethesda classification) if biopsy has been performed
- CT scan of the neck and chest with contrast (for locally advanced or metastatic disease)
- Thyroid function tests: TSH, free T4, free T3
- Tumor markers: thyroglobulin (Tg) and anti-Tg antibodies; calcitonin and CEA for medullary thyroid cancer
- Breast imaging (mammogram, ultrasound, MRI) and biopsy results if breast concerns are also present
- Genetic testing results if available (RET, BRAF, RAS for thyroid; BRCA1/2 for breast)
- Prior surgical or treatment records if previously operated
