About
Liaoning Cancer Hospital and Institute is the provincial oncology center for Liaoning and one of the larger and better-equipped cancer hospitals in northeast China. Located in Shenyang, it provides comprehensive multi-modal cancer care — surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic therapy — with a research institute component that conducts cancer biology and clinical oncology studies. It serves as the highest-level oncology referral center for Liaoning's large population.
History & scale
Founded in 1975, the hospital has over 50 years of oncology specialization. With approximately 2,000 inpatient beds, it is one of the larger dedicated cancer hospitals in northeast China. Its facilities include modern radiotherapy equipment, a chemotherapy day unit, specialized surgical suites, nuclear medicine, and research laboratories — reflecting its dual clinical-research identity.
Star specialties
The hospital covers all major oncological subspecialties. Radiation oncology provides IMRT, IGRT, and brachytherapy. Surgical oncology covers thoracic (lung, esophageal), gastrointestinal (gastric, colorectal), breast, gynecological, head and neck, and urological cancers. Medical oncology administers chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. The hospital also has hematological oncology and pediatric oncology programs. Its research institute studies cancer relevant to the northeast Chinese population, including lung cancer (reflecting the region's high smoking rates) and gastric cancer (reflecting dietary factors).
Achievements & recognition
As a Grade A Class A (三甲) specialized oncology hospital and the provincial cancer center, it holds responsibilities for oncology quality and training in Liaoning. The research institute contributes to cancer epidemiological and translational research relevant to the northeast population.
International services
International patient services are limited. Some senior oncologists have international training or publication experience. The hospital has some experience with patients from neighboring countries — Korea, Russia — given Shenyang's geographic position. English-language support varies; interpretation should be independently arranged.
Why choose this hospital
For international patients in northeast China, this is the most comprehensive dedicated cancer center in Liaoning. For those from Korea or the Russian Far East, it offers specialized oncology care at a more accessible location and lower cost than cancer centers in Beijing or Shanghai.
