Yu Baofa (Chinese: 于保法; pinyin: Yú Bǎofǎ; born in 1958) is a Chinese oncologist and researcher in intratumoral cancer therapy and drug development.[1] He is the Founder, CEO and Chairman of Baofa Cancer Hospital Network China in Jinan, Beijing and Dongping.[2] He also developed Ultra Minimum Incision Personalized Intra-Tumoral Chemo-Immuno (UMIPIC) Therapy.[3][4]

Early life and education[edit]

Yu was born in 1958 in Jinan, Shandong, China. During his childhood, the local doctors he saw in his village inspired him to become a physician in the future. He was educated in Binzhou Medical College. Four years later, he graduated and landed a job in the Shandong Tumor Research Institute and transferred to the China Academy of Medical Sciences for further studies in cancer.[1]

In 1984, his mother was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and later died. Soon after, his best friend's father died of cancer as well. These experiences motivated him to deepen his research of cancer.[1]

In 1985, Yu enrolled in Peking Union Medical College (tumour department) in Beijing to further his studies and received a master's degree of Medicine. After graduation, he worked at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital in Beijing for a year, before attending the School of Medicine of University of California, San Diego for doctoral studies.[1]

His hospitals utilize various cancer treatments including surgery, radiotherapy, biological therapy, UMIPIC, as well as traditional Chinese medical treatments.[5]
