Xiaodong Li
MD, PhD
Prof. Xiaodong Li is a radiation oncologist and Director of the Proton Therapy Center at the Shanghai Proton & Heavy Ion Center in Shanghai, China. His clinical focus is the precise delivery of proton and carbon ion radiation for tumours where protecting surrounding healthy tissue is a priority.
With more than 15 years in radiation oncology, Prof. Li concentrates on particle therapy for paediatric cancers, central nervous system tumours, and skull base tumours. He works within one of China's specialised particle therapy centres, which operates in collaboration with Fudan University and is equipped to deliver both proton and heavy ion treatment. His training includes a fellowship in Germany, a country with a long-established programme in particle radiotherapy. Each case is assessed individually to determine whether proton or carbon ion therapy offers a meaningful advantage over conventional radiotherapy.
CancerFax can coordinate medical-record review and consultation support for international patients seeking a proton or heavy ion therapy opinion in Shanghai.
Why Consider Prof. Xiaodong Li?
Prof. Li brings particle therapy expertise to complex tumours where precision radiation matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prof. Xiaodong Li
Prof. Li is a radiation oncologist who specialises in proton and carbon ion (heavy ion) therapy. His clinical focus includes paediatric cancers, central nervous system tumours, and skull base tumours, where precise radiation and protection of healthy tissue are important.
He is Director of the Proton Therapy Center at the Shanghai Proton & Heavy Ion Center in Shanghai, China. The centre is a specialised facility for proton and heavy ion radiotherapy and operates in collaboration with Fudan University.
CancerFax can coordinate medical-record review and consultation support for international patients seeking an opinion from Prof. Li, subject to hospital availability and case acceptance. Our team also assists with interpretation, visa guidance, and travel coordination.
No. Proton and carbon ion therapy are recommended selectively. Suitability depends on the diagnosis, tumour type and location, disease stage, previous treatments, and whether particle therapy is expected to offer a meaningful advantage over conventional radiotherapy. A detailed specialist assessment is always required.
Submit your medical reports through CancerFax, including the pathology or biopsy report, recent MRI, CT or PET-CT images, any previous radiation records, surgical notes, and treatment history. The CancerFax team will review the documents, prepare the case, and coordinate the next steps with the hospital, subject to availability.
