Personal Biography
Dr. Wenjun Yang is a Professor, Chief Physician and Doctoral Supervisor in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial–Head and Neck Oncology at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Practising at the hospital since 1994, he focuses on the clinical and basic research of oral and maxillofacial–head and neck tumors, including parotid gland disease, jaw cysts, advanced oral cancer and reconstructive procedures. His international experience includes work as a clinical consultant and visiting expert at National University Hospital in Singapore, as well as visiting-scholar training at the University of Michigan and Osaka Dental University.
Why Consider Dr. Wenjun Yang for Oral and Maxillofacial Oncology?
Dr. Wenjun Yang combines long-standing clinical practice in oral and maxillofacial–head and neck oncology with academic and international experience. A Professor and Chief Physician at Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, he has worked in the specialty since 1994 and previously served as a clinical consultant and visiting expert at National University Hospital in Singapore.
His clinical focus spans parotid gland tumors, jaw cysts, minimally invasive treatment of head and neck lesions, facial and neck scar repair, facial nerve repair, and organ repair and reconstruction for advanced oral and head and neck cancers. This combination may be particularly relevant to international patients seeking a specialist review that considers tumor management alongside function, appearance and reconstruction.
For a remote specialist review or pre-travel case review, patients should prepare pathology reports, imaging, operative notes, prior treatment records and a focused question list. A well-organized record set can help Dr. Yang review the case context, address key questions, and provide his professional opinion and recommendations before the patient decides whether to pursue care in Shanghai.
Pre-Travel Case Review & Specialist Liaison
Before arranging medical travel to Shanghai, international patients can begin with a structured pre-travel case review coordinated by MedBridgeNZ. With your authorization, we organize medical records, coordinate translation where needed, transfer the documentation to Dr. Yang’s hospital team, and manage appointment communication.
Through the agreed remote specialist-review pathway, Dr. Yang will review the submitted records, provide his professional opinion and recommendations, and address the patient’s prepared questions. This can help clarify the clinical rationale, possible next steps, and whether an in-person pathway in Shanghai should be considered before major travel arrangements are made.
