Medical Teaching
Peking University School of Oncology is a national key subject on oncology, with a teacher team of reasonable knowledge and age structure. There are 45 professors, 71 associated professors, 112 with doctoral degree, and 101 with master’s degree. The school has 7 specialized teaching and researching divisions. There are 21 doctoral supervisors and 28 master supervisors. Furthermore, the school has invited several top experts from America, French and Japan to hold the post of visiting professor in related subjects perennially.
Peking University School of Oncology has established a medical teaching system with multi-strata and multi-orbit, including postgraduate education, education after graduation and continuing medical education. The school is the awarding station for doctoral degree and postdoctoral station of oncology. It assumes the responsibility in cultivation of postgraduates from 6 majors, including oncology, biochemistry and molecular biology, cellular biology, imaging medicine and nuclear medicine, epidemiology and health statistics, integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine, and the graduate stage of 8-year bachelor-master-doctor continuous study. Since 1988, the school has cultivated 394 post-graduate, including 151 with doctoral degree and 243 with master’s degree. There are 14 out-station post-doctoral researchers, and 6 post doctoral researchers at present. In addition, the school enrolls students and post-graduates coming from abroad each year.
The school and hospital have been developing international and domestic communication and cooperation actively. It has established long-term cooperation with many famous domestic and international medical schools, including Duke University in the USA and Louis Pasteur University in France, and famous research institutes, such as NCI, MD. ANDERSON, and MSKCC in USA. It also has send out several scholars in related subjects each year to participate in academic communication. Many doctors have been sent abroad each year for advanced study with the foundation of “Climbing Plan” established by the school. The school is responsible for more than 10 national-level or city-level continuing medical education programs and hold academic visit, advanced study, and academic communication of averagely 800 person-times per year.
Scientific research
The institute was founded in 1976, including 7 laboratories for basic research composed of more than 80 scientists and technicians with high quality, a ministerial key laboratory, and a field study base for high incidence of gastric cancer that with a history of 30 years.
Since its foundation, the school (institute) has been performed and responsible for 34 national key projets, 79 national programs with special funds, and 10 international cooperative programs. In addition, the institute has been cooperated with NCI of America since 1985. It has received about RMB 1,000,0000 yuan yearly as fund for scientific research in the recent five years. During 30 years from the foundation of the institute, It has received 5 national-level achievement awards, 102 ministerial or provincial-level awards, and 14 patents. The scientists and doctors of the institute have published more than 2500 papers in foreign and domestic journals specialized in
biomedicine, including 280 SCI papers, and 22 papers with influence factor(IF) higher than 5 since 2001.
The school (institute) focuses on three research directions, including prevention of cancer, molecular mechanisms of the carcinogenesis and development of tumor, and increasing the efficacy of individualized combined treatment of common tumors. It has obtained a series of progress, such as, “Multiple factor randomized chemical intervention study on gastric cancer” directed by prof. You Weicheng, which is a double-blind, randomized, and controlled intervention study on gastric cancer and precancerous changes with the biggest sample size in world and a duration as long as 7.5 years. It is shown that by the strict population control study, clearance of helicobacterpylori (Hp) can significantly decrease the incidence of precancerous changes and gastric cancer, which is of great directive significance to the prevention of gastric cancer (JNCI, IF=15.171). The study of “improving the efficacy of ultrasonic guided radiofrequency ablation on liver cancer” directed by prof. Chen Minhua has increased the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation on large liver cancer and multiple liver cancer and improved survival time and quality of life by establishing mathematic model and combining of other subjects for the first time internationally (The study has been widely approved by domestic and foreign peers, and has been invited to report for 4 times on international meetings). The breast-conserving rate of treatment for breast cancer further increased from 24% in 2001 to 51% in 2006 (the domestic level is 5%). The preoperation neoadjuvant chemotherapy and individualized normalized treatment for gastric cancer has increased the resectable rate of gastric cancer with mediate and advanced stage. Now available two-year survival rate has been increased from 60% to 75%. The practice of normalized total mesorectal excision has decreased partial recurrence rate of rectal cancer from 12% to 6%. Preoperation radiotherapy has decreased the pathological staging of rectal cancer, and increased the anus-conserving rate from 50% to more than 70%. The treatment level of other tumors (such as lung cancer, malignant lymphoma, renal carcinoma, and melanoma) is also in the front row in China. Furthermore, it has performed in-depth studies on molecular pathology, gene polymorphism, gene array, and gene phenotype of tumors, and combined basic and clinical study on tumor antibody.
