Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital developed from Chengzhong Sanatorium, established in 1933, with a longstanding focus on lung and respiratory disease. Affiliated with Tongji University, it combines specialist care, medical education and respiratory research.

Fields include thoracic surgery, respiratory and critical care medicine, tuberculosis, pulmonary vascular disease, occupational medicine and lung cancer. Teams assess pulmonary infection, interstitial lung disease, chronic airway disease and complex thoracic surgical conditions, supported by endoscopy, imaging, pathology and laboratory services.

Thoracic surgery teams study combined treatment approaches for lung cancer. Research published in 2025 examined neoadjuvant targeted therapy in selected patients with locally advanced, EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer. Defined eligibility criteria apply; the study is not a treatment recommendation for all patients with lung cancer.

Jiang Gening’s fields include lung cancer, tracheal and mediastinal disease, and complex thoracic surgery. Chen Chang works in thoracic surgical care and research. Their teams have also contributed to multidisciplinary development in lung transplantation.
