About
Dr. Yan Fan is a pioneering translational researcher at the intersection of molecular imaging and surgical oncology, with a primary focus on prostate cancer. Her most notable contribution is leading the first-in-human study of a dual-modality, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)–targeted probe, which seamlessly integrates preoperative positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging with intraoperative fluorescence guidance. This groundbreaking work, published in 2025 and already garnering 15 citations, represents a paradigm shift in precision surgery—enabling surgeons to visualize tumor margins in real time during resection, thereby reducing positive margins and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Fan’s research bridges the critical gap between diagnostic imaging and therapeutic intervention, demonstrating how targeted molecular probes can unify staging and treatment. Her achievements highlight her leadership in clinical translation, moving novel theranostic agents from bench to bedside. For students and researchers, Dr. Fan’s work exemplifies how interdisciplinary innovation—combining radiochemistry, nuclear medicine, and surgical technique—can directly enhance cancer care. Her ongoing efforts continue to push the boundaries of image-guided therapy, establishing her as a rising authority in the field of urologic oncology and precision medicine.
