Expertise

Dr. Zhao specializes in the precise diagnosis and treatment of small pulmonary nodules, and proficient in the diagnosis and surgical treatment of complex diseases such as lung cancer, pulmonary nodules, mediastinal tumors (thymoma, thoracic teratoma, cervicothoracic junction masses), tracheal tumors and stenosis, pleural mesothelioma, thoracic airway reconstruction, and vascular plasty and reconstruction. He is particularly adept at diagnosing and treating thoracic diseases using minimally invasive approaches such as thoracoscopy and mediastinoscopy. He strictly adheres to the standardized diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, strongly advocates multidisciplinary sequential therapy for locally advanced lung cancer, and attaches great importance to the minimally invasive nature of lung cancer surgery.

Professional Background

Dr. Zhao has been engaged in thoracic surgery for more than 30 years, accumulating extensive clinical experience in the surgical diagnosis and treatment of thoracic diseases involving the lungs, mediastinum, trachea, esophagus, and other thoracic structures. He has performed over 10,000 total thoracoscopic surgeries for lung cancer.

Dr. Zhao once studied at the Second Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Okayama University (National University), Japan, and also visited and studied at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Mayo Clinic in the United States.

In 2013, Dr. Zhao initiated the establishment of the “Cijing” Early Lung Cancer Charity Fund, which focuses on providing free screening and treatment for impoverished patients with early-stage lung cancer, as well as training and public education for lung cancer-related professionals in economically underdeveloped areas.
