Lai Youqun
M.D., Doctor of Medicine
Dr. Lai Youqun is Deputy Director of the Radiation Therapy Department and Assistant Director of the BNCT (Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) Centre at Humanity Hospital Xiamen. He specialises in radiotherapy physics, with a focus on developing precise, high-quality treatment plans that maximise dose delivery to tumour targets while protecting surrounding healthy tissue.
Dr. Lai has extensive experience with leading radiotherapy planning systems, including Eclipse and Pinnacle, applied to both common and complex tumour cases across multiple clinical systems. He has earned multiple top-ten rankings in domestic and international radiotherapy planning competitions, including the 2015 Varian Eclipse Planning Competition Best Design Award and seventh place globally in the 2017 International Radiotherapy Planning Competition. He contributed to the compilation of the Varian Medical Guidelines for the Physical Practice of SBRT/SRS in Oncology and has served as an expert judge at international planning competitions. His research output includes eight published SCI papers in radiation therapy physics, and he is actively engaged in big data analysis to improve radiotherapy workflow safety and efficiency.
CancerFax can coordinate medical-report review and consultation support for international patients seeking radiotherapy planning or BNCT assessment at Humanity Hospital Xiamen.
