    Research Interests:Dr. Jiang's picture



    I am a surgical pathologist with a specialty in genitourinary pathology (GU) and oncological pathology. My major field of research interest is the development of biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of malignant tumors. I first found P504S/a-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) to be a good diagnostic marker for prostatic adenocarcinoma in 2001 and then I published a series papers discussing the various diagnostic utilities of P504S/AMACR in prostate cancer and other cancers. Now, P504S/AMACR is being widely used in clinical practice for the diagnosis of prostatic carcinoma. Furthermore, I recently discovered IMP3, an oncofetal protein, as a new prognostic biomarker for renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. In addition, IMP3 may have potential diagnostic and prognostic values for other malignant tumors, such as gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
