About

Dr. Wanqing Chen is a leading epidemiologist whose work has fundamentally shaped the understanding of cancer burden in China, with a particular focus on urologic malignancies. Her research centers on national cancer surveillance, epidemiology, and the evolving patterns of disease incidence and mortality. Dr. Chen’s landmark study, "Urologic cancer in China" (2016), which has garnered 187 citations, provides a critical analysis of the rising rates of bladder and prostate cancers, highlighting their ranking as the sixth and seventh most common male cancers in the country. This work, drawing on data from the National Central Cancer Registry, has been instrumental in informing public health strategies and resource allocation. Beyond urologic cancers, Dr. Chen’s contributions to the National Central Cancer Registry of China have established the foundational datasets used to track the nation’s cancer transition. Her research not only documents the increasing cancer burden but also identifies key epidemiological shifts, making her a pivotal figure in cancer prevention and control in China.
