ACCREDITED CHAIR PROFILE

Pioneering Brain Functional Preservation in Modern Neuro-Oncology

Professor Mao Ying serves as President of Huashan Hospital, affiliated with Fudan University, and Chairman of the Chinese Glioma Cooperative Group (CGCG). Internationally acclaimed for pioneering high-field intraoperative MRI and awake functional brain mapping, he leads China's highest-volume neurosurgical department, conducting over 18,000 surgical procedures per year.

His research and surgical innovations focus on resolving the fundamental dilemma of neuro-oncology: achieving maximal safe resection of malignant brain tumors (GBM, anaplastic astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas) while rigorously protecting motor, speech, and executive cognitive pathways in eloquent brain regions.

ADVANCED SURGICAL INNOVATION

Core Clinical Expertise & Surgical Mastery

Structured clinical capabilities established through over 8,000 published neurosurgical interventions.

Intraoperative 3.0T MRI Craniotomy

Utilizes high-field intraoperative 3.0T MRI suites to rescan the brain in real time during resection, overcoming brain shift and maximizing tumor clearance while guarding vital tracts.

Awake Functional Cortical Mapping

Direct cortical and subcortical electrical stimulation during awake craniotomies precisely defines language, memory, and motor boundaries, safeguarding patient functional cognition.

Complex Skull Base & Insular Resection

Precision microsurgery for deep insular gliomas, petroclival meningiomas, and brainstem lesions deemed inoperable elsewhere, utilizing multimodal safe entry zone anatomy.

Multidisciplinary MDT Tumor Board

Leads Huashan's integrated neuro-oncology tumor boards, combining molecular NGS profiling, targeted adjuvant clinical trials, stereotactic CyberKnife, and TTFields therapy.
