Yun Shin Chun, MD, FACS

My areas of expertise are hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers. I completed general surgery residency at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, where hundreds of operations for cancers in the liver and pancreas are performed each year, followed by research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, investigating the molecular behavior of cancer cells. I completed a surgical oncology fellowship at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, focusing on complex gastrointestinal cancers, including tumors of the liver, bile duct, and pancreas.

Fox Chase Cancer Center is one of the nation’s first comprehensive cancer hospitals and provides multidisciplinary cancer care, which is essential to improve survival and quality of life for patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers. Fox Chase merges the highest level of clinical care with cutting-edge research, as evidenced by the Nobel Laureates who have made breakthrough discoveries at Fox Chase. In addition to unparalleled cancer care, the size and accessibility of Fox Chase foster a warm, personal environment in which patients are treated as unique individuals.
