Dr. Jiahua Pan (潘家骅) - Urologist
Personal Biography
Dr. Jiahua Pan (潘家骅) is Chief Physician, Doctoral Supervisor, and Director of the Department of Urology at Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. His clinical work focuses on the individualized management of malignant prostate tumors, including complex prostate cancer, and robotic-assisted and laparoscopic minimally invasive urological surgery. He has personally performed more than 2,000 Da Vinci robotic-assisted surgeries and conducts research into prostate cancer drug-resistance mechanisms.
Why Choose Dr. Jiahua Pan for Your Care?
Dr. Jiahua Pan is Director of Urology at Shanghai Renji Hospital and has extensive experience in Da Vinci robotic-assisted and laparoscopic surgery for complex prostate cancer. His practice includes difficult radical prostatectomy and nerve-sparing dissection, with surgical planning that considers tumor control alongside preservation of urinary and sexual function where clinically appropriate.
For international patients with high-risk, locally advanced, or oligometastatic prostate tumors, a pre-travel specialist review can help clarify whether Dr. Pan’s clinical focus is relevant to the case and what records should be prepared for further discussion. His published research includes neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy combined with radical prostatectomy for very high-risk locally advanced prostate cancer, supporting a research-informed approach to complex treatment planning.
