Target Population

  • Bone and soft tissue tumor(sarcoma)patients

  • Gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients

  • Complex bone/soft tissue consultation cases

  • Patients requiring molecular pathology for diagnosis confirmation


Description

Prof. Huang Syuan-Ying of CGMHK's Anatomic Pathology Department leads Taiwan's most comprehensive bone and soft tissue tumor pathology service, established after a fellowship at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (2001–2003). He has served as the National Health Research Institutes' bone/soft tissue pathology consultant since 2004, chairs the Taiwan Society of Pathology Bone and Soft Tissue Study Group, and is a full member of ISBSTP. Over 1,147 consultation cases accumulated in 10 years from major medical centers nationwide. Integrating molecular pathology (FISH, RT-PCR, IHC) with novel markers (FUS, MUC4, MDM2, STAT6), the team dramatically improved diagnostic accuracy. 48 SCI papers since 2002 (40 as first/corresponding author); cited over 500 times; representative papers in Clinical Cancer research, modern pathology, and American Journal of Pathology,etc.


Key Highlights

  • Taiwan's only comprehensive bone/soft tissue tumor pathology consultation service (1,147 cases/10 years)

  • Integrated molecular pathology: FISH, RT-PCR, novel markers (FUS, MUC4, MDM2, STAT6)

  • 2013 WHO Tumor Classification: invited author for myxofibrosarcoma chapter

  • Asia's leading myxofibrosarcoma expert (citations 44–163 times per paper)

  • Chair, Taiwan Society of Pathology Bone and Soft Tissue Study Group

  • Full member, International Skeletal and Bone Soft Tissue Pathology Society (ISBSTP)

Service Data

  • External bone/soft tissue tumor consultations: >1,147 cases (10 years, nationwide)
