Who Is Dr. Zhou Jian?
Dr. Zhou Jian (周俣) is a Chief Physician, Professor, and one of China's leading experts in liver tumor surgery at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai. A protégé of Academician Dr. Fan Jia, Dr. Zhou has become internationally recognized in his own right for his mastery of laparoscopic and robotic liver surgery, as well as his expertise in the surgical management of complex and recurrent liver cancers. He is widely regarded as one of the most technically accomplished minimally invasive liver surgeons in Asia.
What Conditions Does He Treat?
Dr. Zhou Jian specializes in surgical treatment of liver tumors and related conditions, including:
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC / primary liver cancer)
- Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
- Liver metastases (from colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, and other cancers)
- Recurrent liver cancer after prior resection or ablation
- Laparoscopic and robotic liver resection
- Complex multi-segment hepatectomy
- Benign liver tumors requiring surgical removal
Why International Patients Choose Dr. Zhou
Patients travel from across Asia and beyond to see Dr. Zhou Jian because of his exceptional skill in minimally invasive liver surgery — an approach that offers faster recovery, less blood loss, and reduced complications compared to open surgery. For patients with tumors in difficult anatomical locations, or those who have been told they are not surgical candidates elsewhere, Dr. Zhou's technical expertise often makes surgery possible. Working within the world-class Liver Cancer Institute at Zhongshan Hospital alongside Dr. Fan Jia, patients benefit from a full multidisciplinary team and the highest standards of perioperative care.
