According to Dr. Chengyu Liu, “The great thing about working at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) is the focus on our Mother Standard® of care.” In his office, Dr. Liu keeps a card from a former patient’s daughter which reads: “You are one of the most caring and compassionate doctors I’ve ever met.”

In his role as hospitalist at CTCA at Eastern Regional Medical Center (Eastern), Dr. Liu believes in always being available to address his patients’ questions and concerns. “I treat people how I would want to be treated in the same situation," says Dr. Liu.

Dr. Liu holds a Ph.D. in biomedical sciences from the University of Texas – Houston Health Science Center. Recipient of the Harry S. Isabel C. Cameron Foundation Award in cardiovascular disease research and the University of Texas MD Anderson Research Achievement Award, his accomplishments and determination are admirable.

After earning a Bachelor of Medicine degree from China Medical University and a Ph.D. from the University of Texas, Dr. Liu began his career as a postdoctoral research scientist in the Department of Genetics and Development at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. He then joined Capital Health System in Trenton, New Jersey where he served as a medical resident. During his stay, he won the Resident Research Award and, in 2007, became board certified in internal medicine.

Before joining CTCA, Dr. Liu worked as an academic hospitalist at Cogent Healthcare Inc./Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia. He has published articles in Development and Molecular and Cellular Biology, along with numerous abstracts.

“I joined CTCA because it is the best example of patient-centered care in a hospital environment. My mission is to be an advocate for my patients and to make sure they receive the whole-person approach as well as treatment options,” says Dr. Liu.

Dr. Liu explains that the cancer experts at CTCA constantly seek to improve the patient experience. Part of this entails offering innovative, evidence-based treatments and combining conventional and complementary medicine. Dr. Liu enjoys being part of a team that is fully dedicated to the patient: “Our ability to work together characterizes CTCA. We have a very spirited team here," he says.

When asked what he loves most about CTCA, Dr. Liu says it is the patient relationships, “After getting to know the patients, you feel as though you become part of their family. I love the connections I make with patients.”

Dr. Liu is a member of the American College of Physicians and American Association for Advancement of Science. Even with a busy schedule, Dr. Liu always finds time to watch and play basketball. He is a devoted fan of the Houston Rockets and Yao Ming.
