Top 10 Hematology Hospitals in China

The table below lists the 10 hospitals ranked highest for hematology in the Fudan specialty reputation ranking, with the city each is in. Peking University People's Hospital holds the top position. The list spans Beijing, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Jinan and 4 more, which matters more than it looks: a hospital an hour from a relative is a different proposition from one three flights away, and for leukaemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers the difference shows up over months of follow-up rather than on the day of surgery.

The Fudan specialty ranking is a reputation survey: several thousand specialist physicians name the departments they would send a difficult case to. It measures standing among peers, weighted alongside research output. It does not measure waiting times, whether a department accepts international patients, what treatment costs, or whether any particular case would be accepted at all — the four things an international patient usually most needs to know.

A ranking narrows the field; it does not choose. For leukaemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers, the useful sequence is to shortlist two or three departments from this list, check what each one's profile says about the specialty, then have the records reviewed before contacting anyone. Stage, prior treatment, pathology and imaging decide which of these hospitals is appropriate far more than the rank number does — the hospital at #7 may be the right one and the hospital at #1 the wrong one for the same patient.
