Expertise

Dr. Liu specializes in both clinical and basic research in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, with particular expertise in the standardized surgical resection and multidisciplinary treatment of gallbladder cancer, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, hilar cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic cancer.

He pioneered the innovative “bundled pancreaticojejunostomy” technique and was the first in China to propose the concept of total mesopancreas excision for pancreatic head cancer.

Internationally, Dr. Liu was the first to systematically identify the somatic mutation landscape and key tumor-driving genes and signaling pathways (notably the ErbB signaling pathway) associated with gallbladder cancer. He also established the world’s first lymphatic metastasis model for gallbladder cancer and successfully developed the GBC-SD/HL cell line, characterized by high lymphatic metastatic potential.

Professional Background

Dr. Liu has devoted more than 40 years to clinical practice and academic teaching, preforming over 7000 surgeries, with a focus on hepatopancreatobiliary surgery, which includes:

  1. Molecular biological mechanisms of gallbladder cancer initiation and progression

  2. Early diagnosis of gallbladder cancer

  3. Comprehensive treatment of gallbladder cancer

  4. Application of translational medicine in gallbladder cancer

As principal investigator, he has led multiple national multicenter clinical studies, advancing precision medicine in gallbladder cancer and promoting the clinical application of targeted therapies. He also established the largest multicenter single-disease database for gallbladder cancer in China, providing critical guidance for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
