The current discipline leader is Professor Wang Tiejun. The department is designated as:
· Jilin Province Continuing Medical Education Training Base for Radiation Oncology
· Jilin Province Demonstration Unit for Standardized Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer Pain
· Chair Unit of the Radiation Therapy Branch of Jilin Provincial Anti-Cancer Association
· Inaugural Chair Unit of the Radiation Therapy Branch of Changchun Medical Association
· Chair Unit of the Oncology Specialty of Changchun Medical Association
· Key Discipline of Radiation Oncology in Changchun City
· Leading Unit of the National Health Commission's Health Talent Evaluation Group in Radiation Therapy.
The department currently has 88 medical staff, including 7 full senior titles, 10 associate senior titles, 18 doctoral degree holders, 2 doctoral supervisors, and 11 master's supervisors. There are 170 open beds, with over 5,000 patients treated annually. The specialty is divided into head and neck, thoracic, abdominal, gynecological oncology, and minimally invasive treatment groups, equipped with advanced domestic medical devices and precise quality control verification equipment.
The department leads several major projects, including:
· The National Multidisciplinary Diagnosis and Treatment Capacity Building Project for Major Diseases
· A sub-project of the National Thirteenth Five-Year Plan: Stereotactic Radiation Therapy for Malignant Tumors of the Body
The Jilin Province Graded Diagnosis and Treatment Medical Consortium for Difficult Gynecological Cancers and Precision Radiation Therapy Training Base Construction Project.
It also participates in formulating national guidelines for brachytherapy of malignant tumors and intracavitary radiation therapy for gynecological cancers, as well as compiling national standards for intraoperative radiation therapy for rectal cancer, achieving academic status at the national level.
The department was the first in the province to implement:
· Image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
· Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)
· 3D conformal interstitial brachytherapy with afterloading
· Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC)
· Particle implantation therapy
· Microwave hyperthermia
· Radiofrequency ablation
· Intraoperative radiation therapy
· 3D printing-guided interstitial brachytherapy.
These advancements have enabled comprehensive interdisciplinary cancer treatment. Notably, the interstitial brachytherapy technique for cervical cancer has reached internationally advanced and domestically leading levels. The department has hosted three sessions of the "National CT-Guided Interstitial Brachytherapy for Cervical Cancer Training Workshop," gaining widespread recognition among peers. It has now become a diversified oncology treatment department with distinct features.
