Shanghai Hematology Leadership

Shanghai is China's hematology capital. Ruijin Hospital's Shanghai Institute of Hematology (上海血液学研究所), led by Profs. Wang Zhenyi (王振义, academician) and Chen Zhu (陈竺), pioneered APL (acute promyelocytic leukemia) differentiation therapy using all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) + arsenic trioxide — now the global cure standard.

Top Hospitals

  • Ruijin Hospital / Shanghai Institute of Hematology — Global APL pioneer; Prof. Li Junmin (李军民) for leukemia immunotherapy and geriatric hematology.
  • Changhai Hospital — Prof. Wang Jianmin (王健民), leukemia and hematopoietic stem cell transplant; former Chinese Society of Hematology vice-chair.
  • FUSCC — CAR-T for B-ALL; comprehensive lymphoma/leukemia program.
  • Shanghai General Hospital — Bone marrow transplant program.
  • Subtype Treatment

  • APL (M3): ATRA + arsenic trioxide — cure rate >90% (Shanghai protocol now global standard).
  • AML (non-M3): Intensive induction (7+3), hypomethylating agents + venetoclax for elderly/unfit; allogeneic HSCT in first remission for high-risk.
  • ALL (adult): Pediatric-inspired regimens; CAR-T (tisagenlecleucel or domestic equivalents) for relapsed/refractory B-ALL bridging to transplant.
  • CML: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib, ponatinib); domestic generics very affordable.
  • CLL: BTK inhibitors (zanubrutinib, orelabrutinib — Chinese-developed), BCL2 inhibitor (venetoclax).
  • Bone Marrow Transplant

    Changhai Hospital and Ruijin Hospital have major HSCT programs. Unrelated donor searches through China Marrow Donor Program (CMDP) or haploidentical family donors are both supported.
