Who Is Dr. Shen Baiyong?
Dr. Shen Baiyong (沈柏用) is the Director of Pancreatic Surgery at Ruijin Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and one of China's foremost pancreatic surgeons. With extensive experience in pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure), distal pancreatectomy, and minimally invasive pancreatic surgery, Dr. Shen is internationally recognized for his technical expertise and his ability to manage complex and high-risk pancreatic cases. His department at Ruijin Hospital is one of the highest-volume pancreatic surgery centers in China, with outcomes that rank among the best in Asia.

- Pancreatic cancer (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, PDAC)
- Pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure) for head of pancreas tumors

Why International Patients Choose Dr. Shen
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most challenging malignancies to treat, and outcomes are highly dependent on surgical volume and expertise. International patients choose Dr. Shen Baiyong because of his exceptional technical skill in complex pancreatic resections, his experience with minimally invasive approaches that reduce recovery time, and his ability to perform conversion surgery for patients who have responded to chemotherapy. For patients who have been told their pancreatic tumor is unresectable, or who want a second opinion from one of Asia's top pancreatic surgeons, a consultation with Dr. Shen's team at Ruijin Hospital can be life-changing. His close collaboration with the Gastroenterology team at Ruijin ensures patients receive comprehensive pre- and post-operative digestive care.
