Professor Feng Qinfu: Chief Expert Guidance to Advance Radiotherapy

On June 24, Professor Feng Qinfu, a senior expert in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, was invited to visit the Wuwei Heavy Ion Center of Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital. He conducted frontline consultations, carried out ward rounds, and organized discussions on complex cases. With his profound clinical experience and forward‑looking academic insights, he injected strong momentum into the high‑quality development of the center's radiotherapy discipline, powerfully advancing the comprehensive improvement of cancer radiotherapy diagnosis and treatment quality.

Professor Feng Qinfu is a senior expert in the field of radiotherapy, serving as a Chief Physician and Master's Supervisor at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. He graduated from Hunan Medical University in 1984 with a bachelor's degree, received his master's degree from Peking Union Medical College in 1990, and pursued further training at Duke University Medical Center in the United States from 1999 to 2000. He specializes in thoracic tumor radiotherapy and comprehensive treatment, with expertise in conformal radiotherapy for lung cancer, esophageal cancer, and thymic tumors, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of radiation‑induced lung injury. Since 2008, he has also been performing intraoperative radiotherapy, completing over 100 cases. He currently serves as a Standing Committee Member of the Chinese Society of Radiation Oncology and a member of the Lung Cancer Professional Committee of the China Anti‑Cancer Association.

During his guidance visit, Professor Feng worked closely on the clinical frontlines, participating fully in the department's diagnostic and treatment activities. During outpatient consultations, he patiently attended to each cancer patient, carefully taking medical histories and comprehensively evaluating their conditions based on examination reports. He tailored individualized treatment plans for patients, precisely addressing their concerns and those of their families, and helping to alleviate their anxiety. During ward rounds, he examined each patient's recovery progress one by one, engaging in in‑depth discussions with the medical and nursing team based on clinical cases, sharing cutting‑edge diagnostic concepts and practical techniques. In the complex case discussion sessions, he meticulously analyzed typical cases from core perspectives such as radiotherapy target volume delineation, dose planning, and formulation of multidisciplinary collaboration strategies, offering practical and feasible optimization suggestions. This helped the medical team standardize diagnostic and treatment procedures and enhance the precision and standardization of radiotherapy delivery.

As the only cancer hospital in the world operating two heavy (carbon) ion therapy systems, our hospital has consistently focused on technological innovation in cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as discipline development. The Department of Radiation Oncology has entered a national clinical key specialty development cycle. In the future, our hospital will continue to invite renowned specialists from various fields across the country to conduct outpatient consultations, clinical guidance, and academic exchange activities. We will persistently deepen research into precision diagnosis and treatment technologies for key specialties such as thoracic oncology, refine our multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment system, fully leverage the advantages of advanced equipment such as heavy ion radiotherapy, and provide efficient, precise, and personalized diagnostic and treatment support for patients with thoracic tumors in Northwest China, safeguarding the life and health of the public with professional expertise and high‑quality medical services!
