Who Is Dr. Zhu Zhenggang?
Dr. Zhu Zhenggang (朱正纲) is a Professor of Gastric Cancer Surgery at Ruijin Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and one of China's most distinguished gastric cancer surgeons. With decades of experience in radical gastrectomy, D2 lymph node dissection, and minimally invasive laparoscopic gastric surgery, Dr. Zhu is internationally recognized for his exceptional surgical outcomes in gastric cancer — one of the most common and challenging cancers in Asia. His department at Ruijin Hospital is one of the highest-volume gastric cancer surgery centers in China, and his work complements the gastric cancer surgical expertise of Dr. Sun Yihong at Zhongshan Hospital, giving CMCS patients access to elite gastric cancer surgeons at two of Shanghai's premier institutions.
What Conditions Does He Treat?
Dr. Zhu Zhenggang specializes in the surgical management of gastric and upper gastrointestinal cancers, including:
- Gastric cancer (early and advanced stage, total and subtotal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection)
- Laparoscopic and minimally invasive gastrectomy
- Gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) tumors and cardia cancer
- Conversion surgery for locally advanced or initially unresectable gastric cancer
- Recurrent gastric cancer and redo surgery
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) requiring surgical resection
- Peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer (including HIPEC evaluation)
- Palliative surgery for advanced gastric cancer
Why International Patients Choose Dr. Zhu
International patients choose Dr. Zhu Zhenggang for his exceptional surgical precision, his mastery of D2 gastrectomy — the gold standard for curative gastric cancer surgery — and his experience managing complex and recurrent gastric cancers. For patients diagnosed with gastric cancer who want access to one of Asia's most experienced gastric cancer surgeons, Dr. Zhu's department at Ruijin Hospital offers a fully integrated multidisciplinary approach combining surgery with medical oncology and therapeutic endoscopy. For patients with locally advanced gastric cancer who have received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, Dr. Zhu's expertise in conversion surgery can open surgical options that were previously unavailable.
