Over forty years of down-to-earth experiences in imaging and interventional medicine, and reignites the light of life of the cancer patients with individualised minimally-invasive ablation therapies.
In the medical frontier in the cancer minimally-invasive ablation therapies, there is a doctor, who firmly grabs the cryoablation needle and nanoknife, directly aims at the core of tumours, under the precise guidance of CT and MRI. While upholding the philosophy of “excluding surgeries, minimizing losses, and optimal efficacy”, Dr. Xiao has spread the seeds of hope in the hearts of many patients who were given “death sentences”. The doctor we are talking about is Professor Xiao Yueyong, the Chief Physician, Professor, and Doctoral Supervisor at the Department of Radiological Diagnosis in the No. 1 Medical Center in Chinese PLA General Hospital, the Chairperson of the 1st World Ablative Therapies Association (WATA), and the Asian Ablation Master.
More than four decades of profound explorations
Professor Xiao Yueyong has ploughed deeply in the diagnosis through imaging and interventional therapies for approximately four decades, and he is one of the founders and leadrunners in domestic tumours ablation field. During 2006-2007, Professor XIAO headed for the Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) under the Harvard Medical School in the United States on official funding as a Senior Visiting Scholar, who specialised in interventional therapies under the guidance of CT and MRI. After returning China, he became rooted in the clinical first line for long term, designing and improving multiple methods of minimally-invasive interventional surgeries under the guidance of CT/MRI. He took the lead to put forth frontier philosophies including “using imaging techniques to guide the minimally-invasive individualised treatment of tumours” and “cryoablation therapy methods and strategies for tumours with suitable forms”, laying a solid foundation for the development of Chinese interventional minimally-invasive treatment.
In the field of minimally-invasive ablation, Professor Xiao Yueyong is proficient in a holistic series of cutting-edge technologies including chemical ablation, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), cryoablation, and nanoknife ablation (irreversible electroporation ablation). Further, Professor XIAO has finished over 100,000 minimally-invasive interventional surgeries under the guidance of CT and MRI in total. Under Professor XIAO’s leadership, his team has not only organised discussion sessions with experts participating, but also formulated the first batch of “tumour cryoablation and nanoknife ablation” related technologies in China. Furthermore, Professor XIAO introduced in the new technology of nanoknife ablation for tumours, and carried out in-depth researches in the strengths, limitations, and clinical application of this technology, making major contributions to the clinical application of domestically produced nanoknife devices.
Professor XIAO has consistently stressed the details in and quality of surgeries, upholding the theory of “achieving the utmost efficacy with the minimal trauma”, deeply ploughing in the technology of guiding ablation therapies with imaging devices. Aiming at different tumours and lesions in special anatomical sites, he promoted individualised ablation treatment solutions, and his surgical table has become the last safe haven for the many patients with rare, difficult, and severe symptoms, enabling more cancer patients in the late stage to receive effective treatment and high-quality survival.
Ushering the Chinese Ablation Technologies to the World
From the Director Member of the Special Committee in Tumour Minimally-Invasive Treatment of the China Anti-Cancer Association, to the Chairperson of the 1st World Ablative Therapies Association (WATA), Professor Xiao Yueyong has been constantly devoted to promoting the normalisation and internationalization of ablation therapies. He has taken the lead to formulate more than ten consensus and guidelines on Tumour Minimally-Invasive Ablation Therapies, covering Experts’ Consensus on Cryoablation for Pulmonary Nodules (Version 2022), Experts’ Consensus on Cryoablation Treatment for Bones and Soft Tissues Tumours Guided by Imaging Technology (Version 2018), and Experts’ Consensus on Thermal Ablation Therapy for Benign Thyroid Nodules (Version 2025), offering significant technical references for the Chinese and even the worldwide field of ablation therapies.
Professor Xiao Yueyong has insisted on erudition and benevolence in from a normal clinic room of a Class A hospital to an international academic forum, in guiding diagnosis through refined imaging technology to making bold innovations in minimally-invasive ablation therapies. Professor XIAO has dispelled the haze for innumerable broken families, leading the Chinese interventional minimally-invasive ablation therapies to a wider global stage.
Being a doctor for four decades, Professor Xiao Yueyong has undertaken four projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China and one major underpinning subject of Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China. Professor XIAO has authored five books and co-authored six books, and released a variety of theses for more than 200, amongst which he has released more than 110 theses in the name of the First Author and Corresponding Author, and released more than 40 SCI papers.
