About Renji Hospital, Shanghai

Renji Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine is one of China's oldest academic medical centres, founded in 1844. As a Grade III Class A public tertiary hospital, it offers a full spectrum of medical specialties with particular recognition in oncology, gastroenterology, liver surgery, hematology, nephrology, transplantation, and international medical services.

The oncology programme covers cancer surgery, chemotherapy, radiation oncology, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, precision oncology, hematology services, interventional oncology, and clinical trials. Renji Hospital is clinically relevant for liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma), colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, and hematological malignancies including lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

Renji Hospital has been an active participant in CAR-T clinical research โ€” it was one of the early Chinese academic centres publishing on BCMA-directed CAR-T for myeloma and bispecific CAR-T approaches for B-cell malignancies. The hematology department manages complex blood cancers alongside systemic treatment, targeted therapy, and cellular immunotherapy pathways.

International patients are supported through Renji Hospital's dedicated international patient services, including appointment coordination, medical record review, interpreter assistance, and treatment planning support. CancerFax reviews medical reports, prepares case summaries, routes cases to the relevant Renji Hospital department, and coordinates continuity of care after treatment.

quizFrequently Asked Questions

Patient Questions Answered

CancerFax begins by reviewing your medical reports โ€” diagnosis, pathology, imaging, treatment history, and molecular tests โ€” to identify which Renji Hospital department is most relevant: hematology for CAR-T or blood cancer evaluation, oncology for liver or gastrointestinal cancers, or radiation oncology for radiotherapy review.

We prepare a structured case summary, submit it to the relevant Renji Hospital team, and coordinate the hospital's response. Once the hospital provides preliminary guidance and an appointment pathway, CancerFax helps with practical arrangements โ€” interpreter coordination, travel planning, and post-treatment continuity with your local oncology team.

Yes. Renji Hospital offers international patient services including appointment coordination, medical record review, interpreter assistance, and treatment planning support. CancerFax coordinates the submission and follow-up process on behalf of international patients to ensure reports are properly reviewed before travel is arranged.

Renji Hospital has been an active participant in CAR-T clinical research, including bispecific CD19/CD22 and BCMA-directed approaches. Whether CAR-T is accessible for a specific international patient depends on diagnosis, antigen expression, prior treatment, disease status, and current protocol availability. CancerFax reviews hematology reports and coordinates eligibility confirmation before any travel is planned.

Renji Hospital is particularly recognised for liver cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, gynecologic cancers, and hematological malignancies including leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Treatment suitability depends on individual diagnosis, stage, and specialist review.

Prepare a medical summary, pathology and biopsy report, recent imaging reports with DICOM files, blood tests, treatment history, and any NGS or molecular reports. For hematology and CAR-T evaluation, also include bone marrow biopsy, flow cytometry with antigen expression, FISH cytogenetics, and a complete list of prior treatment lines. CancerFax will identify any missing documents before submitting to the hospital.
