The number of pancreatic malignant tumor surgeries in the team accounts for about 1/3 of the total pancreatic surgery in Shanghai, ranking first in Shanghai for eight consecutive years. It has been built into an international first-class and leading pancreatic oncology medical teaching and research center. In April 2025, Professor Yu Xianjun's team, together with Peking University Cancer Hospital, Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc., took five years of research to draw the world's first multiomics panoramic map of non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and proposed a breakthrough in the molecular classification framework, prognosis model and new targeted-immunotherapy strategies for this "silenced tumor", providing an important basis for clinical accurate diagnosis and treatment.

  At this cadre appointment and removal meeting, Yu Xianjun said that after taking over the baton of the president of the Chongyi Hospital, he felt a great responsibility and glorious mission. In the future, he will further consolidate the hospital's first-mover advantage in the particle field, form more "Chinese solutions", and better build a world-class particle diagnosis and treatment R&D center to benefit tumor patients.
