Why International Patients Choose Dr. Zhu
International patients choose Dr. Zhu Zhenggang for his exceptional surgical expertise in gastric cancer — one of the most common and deadly cancers in Asia — and his ability to manage complex, advanced, and recurrent cases that may have been deemed inoperable elsewhere. Ruijin Hospital's Gastric Cancer Surgery Department operates as a fully integrated multidisciplinary oncology center, with close collaboration between surgeons, medical oncologists, radiologists, and endoscopists. For patients seeking conversion surgery after chemotherapy, or those with locally advanced disease requiring a highly experienced surgical team, Dr. Zhu's department is one of the best choices in Asia. His approach complements the gastrointestinal surgical expertise of Dr. Qin Xinyu at Zhongshan Hospital, giving CMCS patients access to top gastric cancer surgeons at two of Shanghai's premier institutions.
