I specialize in both interventional and surgical approaches for thoracic diseases. I have played a pioneer role as a subdiscipline director performing endoscopic surgery, including ESD, EMR, and cryotherapy in China .Due to the innovative work performed for optimal treatment of esophagus cancer, I was invited to comment on endoscopic therapy in AATS focus at Shanghai in 2016. In 2019 annual AATS conference, I presented a multicenter study , showing endoscopic treatment plus chemoradiation might be treatment option for T1b esophagus cancer, especially for high risk and old patients . This is deemed to be fresh views on esophagus cancer by “AATS daily news”. My abstract entitled “Salvage Esophagectomy Following Curative Endoscopic Resection for Esophageal Carcinoma: Does Interval Matter?” was accepted as a podium presentation in 2019 AATS international thoracic surgical oncology summit.
