Dr. Li focuses on solid tumours, including lung, breast, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, liver, and head and neck cancers. He has particular experience with advanced, recurrent, metastatic or difficult-to-treat disease that may benefit from a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach.
His approach combines surgical oncology, chemotherapy planning, minimally invasive therapies such as argon-helium cryoablation and hyperthermia, biological targeted therapy, and gene-therapy-related strategies where suitable. Treatment plans are developed through multidisciplinary team review and tailored to each patient's diagnosis and condition.
Gene-therapy-related approaches, including p53-based therapy, are not standard treatments for every cancer and require careful medical review. Before considering such treatment, patients should confirm the diagnosis, regulatory approval, available evidence, expected benefit and eligibility. CancerFax can help arrange a review of your reports so these questions can be answered by the medical team.
