The Foshan CyberKnife Center is led by Professor Yang Jun, a returned overseas doctoral scholar. Its core team comprises CyberKnife experts with international standards, extensive experience, and profound expertise, including South China radiotherapy leader Professor Cui Nianji, former Director of the Transplantation and Cancer Immunology Laboratory at the University of Kansas School of Medicine Professor Yan Ying, former US Visiting Physician and former Vice President of Boao International Hospital Professor Han Liangfu, US licensed physician in Internal Medicine, Hematology, and Medical Oncology Professor Ye Gang, former Director of Radiotherapy at Yale University Professor Wang Baodong, and former Director from Foshan First People's Hospital Ms. Lu Qiuxia. This combination of expert physicians + top medical physicists + high-precision CyberKnife equipment aims to achieve a synergistic effect (1+1>2) in precision tumor diagnosis and treatment level and service, ensuring the CyberKnife system delivers its maximum value.

Dr. Yang Jun, the CyberKnife expert, has many remarkable stories. Perhaps starting from his pursuit of studies in the United States, Dr. Yang Jun was destined to delve deeply and excel brilliantly in the field of radiosurgery.
When talking about CyberKnife, Dr. Yang Jun is always full of interest and speaks knowledgeably. He studied under the global radiotherapy authority Professor Luther W. Brady. With talent and effort, he deeply inherited the professor's true knowledge. Starting in 2003, he worked at the University of Miami CyberKnife Center in the US, thus forming an indissoluble bond with CyberKnife.

Internationally, Dr. Yang Jun's influence is substantial. He is not only the sole Asian board member of The Radiosurgery Society but also a developer of the North American Stereotactic Radiosurgery Physics Practice Guideline (TG277) and the international CyberKnife Physics Quality Control Standard (new TG135), making him an absolute leader in the industry field.
Relying on Dr. Yang Jun's medical technology and advanced concepts aligned with international standards, Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital quickly gained attention in the industry. Dr. Yang Jun took the lead in controlling three key points: equipment, technology, and service, forming a set of integrated Chinese and Western medicine, effective, one-stop, full-cycle cancer management benchmark services.
Regarding equipment, Dr. Yang Jun insists on adopting internationally authoritative clinical diagnosis, treatment, and quality control standards. He has introduced several cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment devices, including Foshan's first 'Tumor Buster' M6 CyberKnife, the 'Radiotherapy Superman' US new-generation linear accelerator (Vital Beam), the 'One-Needle Cancer Removal' CAR-T therapy, and the 'Cancer Detection Artifact' PET-CT. This equips tumor patients with the advanced tumor treatment weapons currently available in the field of precision tumor therapy.

Dr. Yang Jun, adhering to the medical belief of "never giving up on any patient", has moved and united the current strong team of expert technicians. This team includes Professor Cui Nianji, a prominent figure in radiotherapy in South China; Professor Yan Ying, an international expert in cellular immunology; Dr. Han Liangfu, a senior professor; Director Lu Qiuxia, a senior radiotherapy expert; Dr. Wang Baodong, Chairman of the Physics Committee of the Radiosurgical Society of North America (RSS); Director Qi Weihua, a senior radiotherapy physicist; as well as many international professional and technical personnel.
Expert technical team + cutting-edge equipment + benchmark service, aiming to achieve a synergistic effect (1+1+1>3) in precision tumor diagnosis and treatment level and service. This is the development vision Dr. Yang Jun entrusts to the center. Only by having strong medical capabilities itself can it have the confidence and opportunity to become a backbone force in the future tumor diagnosis and treatment field.
In front of the computer, Dr. Yang Jun is often seen modestly discussing radiotherapy plans with his team; in front of the CyberKnife treatment room, he is often seen diligently operating the CyberKnife for treatments; at various academic seminars and forums, his figure is often present, sharing cutting-edge theories and technologies...

Dr. Yang Jun has never defined himself by impressive titles, but rather as a diligent, down-to-earth "veteran expert" in cancer treatment. He continues to pursue learning—not to exhaust the profound mysteries of the medical world, but to use his limited energy in combating the endless array of diseases.
Dr. Yang Jun invited to deliver the opening speech for an academic conference.
Dr. Yang Jun and Professor Weisi Yan were invited to attend the International Conference on Advances in Radiation Oncology (ICARO-4) hosted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and deliver speeches.
In the future, under the leadership of Dr. Yang Jun, the Tumor Center at Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital is bound to become an internationally leading tumor diagnosis and treatment center, alleviating the illness and pain for more tumor patients and rebuilding their hope for life.
