He serves as the Academic Leader of the Ministry of Health's Key Clinical Specialty in Oncology, a Standing Committee Member of the Chinese Society of Radiation Oncology, and Chairman of the Radiation Oncology Branch of the Henan Medical Association, among other important academic positions. He has extensive clinical experience in the precision radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, lung cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, and head and neck tumors, and is highly regarded in the radiation oncology community in China.

During his stay, Professor Fan conducted thorough clinical guidance in the radiation oncology ward and at the heavy ion therapy center. During ward rounds, he carefully assessed each patient with a complex or critical condition, taking detailed medical histories and thoroughly reviewing imaging studies. Together with our medical team, he analyzed disease progression and treatment course, customizing personalized treatment plans for each patient. In multidisciplinary consultations on complex cases, Professor Fan offered detailed explanations and precise evaluations regarding the development of comprehensive radiotherapy treatment plans. His insights broadened the team’s clinical perspectives, standardized procedures, and enhanced practice. During outpatient sessions, he received patients with patience, meticulously reviewed imaging findings, and provided authoritative, professional recommendations based on clinical staging — earning wide recognition and praise from both patients and their families.

Professor Fan Ruitai's visit is another vivid example of our hospital's commitment to its mission: "gathering world‑leading technologies to benefit cancer patients everywhere."
