Yin-Kun Liu
MD, PhD
Prof. Yin-Kun Liu is a senior liver cancer researcher associated with the Liver Cancer Institute at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, in Shanghai. His academic work has focused on hepatocellular carcinoma, with particular attention to the biological mechanisms behind liver cancer invasion, metastasis and postoperative recurrence.
Prof. Liu's research has contributed to translational work aimed at improving the early detection and clinical understanding of liver cancer. His studies span serum proteomics, molecular biomarkers and experimental models of metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. He has served as a corresponding author on research evaluating CD14 and alpha-fetoprotein as complementary biomarkers, reporting that combining the two may improve identification of hepatocellular carcinoma compared with AFP alone. His work reflects a strong emphasis on translating laboratory discoveries into clinically relevant approaches for liver cancer diagnosis and precision management.
CancerFax can coordinate medical-report review and consultation support for international patients seeking evaluation at the Liver Cancer Institute, subject to hospital availability and case acceptance.

CancerFax can coordinate medical-report review and consultation support for international patients seeking an opinion connected to the Liver Cancer Institute, subject to hospital availability and case acceptance.
Submit your medical reports through CancerFax. The CancerFax team will review the documents, prepare the case for submission, and coordinate the next steps with the hospital, subject to availability. The final consultation format depends on the institution.
A second-opinion request can be submitted through CancerFax with the patient's pathology reports, imaging, treatment history and relevant test results. The review can help clarify the diagnosis and possible next steps, while the final consultation format and availability depend on the institution.
Treatment decisions for liver cancer may involve surgery, ablation, transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE), systemic therapy, radiotherapy or other liver-directed approaches. The appropriate plan depends on tumour stage, liver function, vascular involvement, previous treatment and the patient's overall condition, and requires review by the treating clinical team.
