About

Dr. Jiaxin (Jason) Niu is a triple board‑certified medical oncologist with nearly three decades of experience in translational research, clinical oncology, and early drug development. Dr. Niu has developed a specialized interest in advanced differentiated thyroid cancer. Over the past decade, he has helped establish the use of neoadjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in de novo advanced disease and has gained extensive experience in radioiodine re‑sensitization strategies for radioiodine‑refractory thyroid cancer.

In addition to his subspecialty focus, Dr. Niu has extensive experience in general hematology and medical oncology, providing comprehensive care for patients with benign and malignant hematologic disorders as well as a broad range of solid tumor malignancies.

Dr. Niu’s philosophy of care centers on treating the whole person—not just cancer. He believes in the long‑standing medical principle that physicians “cure some, treat many, and comfort all,” and he strives to embody this in every patient encounter. His approach emphasizes compassionate communication, individualized treatment planning, and supporting patients and families through every stage of their cancer journey.
