Who Is Dr. Zhou Jian?
Dr. Zhou Jian (周俣) is a Chief Physician and Professor of Liver Tumor Surgery at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, and one of China's foremost experts in minimally invasive liver surgery and liver cancer treatment. Working alongside Academician Fan Jia in one of the world's most renowned liver surgery departments, Dr. Zhou has dedicated his career to advancing laparoscopic and robotic liver resection techniques that allow liver tumors to be removed with minimal surgical trauma and faster recovery. His expertise in complex minimally invasive hepatectomy makes him one of the most sought-after liver surgeons in Asia for patients seeking alternatives to open liver surgery.
What Conditions Does He Treat?
Dr. Zhou Jian specializes in the minimally invasive and open surgical treatment of liver diseases, including:
- Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC / primary liver cancer) — laparoscopic and robotic resection
- Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer)
- Liver metastases from colorectal, gastric, and other primary cancers
- Laparoscopic liver resection — including major hepatectomy (hemi-hepatectomy, trisectionectomy)
- Robotic-assisted liver surgery
- Recurrent liver cancer after prior resection or ablation
- Liver tumors in difficult anatomical locations (segments 7, 8, caudate lobe)
- Benign liver tumors requiring surgical removal (hemangioma, adenoma)
- Liver transplant evaluation and donor hepatectomy
Why International Patients Choose Dr. Zhou
International patients choose Dr. Zhou Jian for his exceptional technical skill in minimally invasive liver surgery — particularly for tumors in difficult anatomical locations that require advanced laparoscopic or robotic techniques. For patients who have been told they need open liver surgery, Dr. Zhou's expertise often makes a laparoscopic approach possible, significantly reducing recovery time, blood loss, and hospital stay. For patients with recurrent liver cancer after prior treatment, his experience with redo hepatectomy provides surgical options that many centers cannot offer. His work within Zhongshan Hospital's world-renowned liver surgery department — alongside Academician Fan Jia — ensures patients benefit from the full depth of expertise available at one of Asia's premier liver cancer centers.
