Desheng Weng

Desheng Weng works as a specialist at Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, holding the roles of Associate Professor and Deputy Director in the Biotherapy Center and Melanoma and Sarcoma Medical Oncology. His research program connects cancer genetics with immunotherapy, reflecting a biotherapy-centered approach to treating melanoma and sarcoma. In cancer genetics studies, his work includes tumor suppressor gene down-regulation and evaluating genes such as ING2, TESTIN, BATF2, LZAP, and BIN1 in primary hepatocellular carcinoma and gastric cancer. He also investigates how these tumor suppressors relate to clinicopathological parameters and explores their functional roles through in vitro assays such as proliferation, clone formation, motility, invasion, and apoptosis of tumor cell lines. Alongside genetics, Weng’s profile highlights immunotherapy as an important comprehensive method for cancer patients. For international patients, this means he participates in a program where treatment planning is informed by both tumor biology and immunotherapy concepts.
