Binkui Li

With conversion therapy designed to turn initially unresectable advanced liver cancers into operable cases, Binkui Li focuses on the “multidisciplinary, individualized, systemic treatment” pathway for every patient at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. As Professor, PhD supervisor, and Director of the Liver Surgery Department, he coordinates liver cancer treatment that can include surgery, vascular interventional therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. His work emphasizes improving curative outcomes and quality of life by tailoring treatment programs to disease stage and biology. Among his core clinical priorities is conversion therapy for advanced liver cancer, which is intended to create surgery opportunities for cases that cannot be resected at presentation. He also participates as an expert member of the Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) for colorectal cancer, where he is skilled in surgery of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer. In practice, this means patients are evaluated through a liver-focused surgical lens while systemic options are considered early as part of a single plan.
