Patient reviews
Undisclosed patient
After being diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer, I was very anxious and came to Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. My attending physician was not only highly skilled, but also performed a minimally invasive surgery for me with a very small incision. He was extremely patient and attentive, and answered all of my questions in detail. It has now been three months since the surgery, and my recovery has been remarkably fast. At my most recent follow-up, all thyroid function indicators had fully returned to normal. I sincerely thank the doctor for saving my life.

My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year, and our whole family was thrown into panic. Fortunately, we met a very responsible doctor at Fudan Cancer Hospital. The doctor made an accurate diagnosis and developed a personalized treatment plan combining chemotherapy and targeted therapy for my mother. At each follow-up visit, the doctor kindly encouraged us. After six months of standardized treatment, the latest checkup shows that the tumor has significantly shrunk, and the side effects of chemotherapy have been well controlled. My mother’s condition has been improving, and we are truly grateful!
