Alice C. Fan
Associate Professor of Medicine (Oncology) and, by courtesy, of Urology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Fan is a physician scientist who studies how turning off oncogenes (cancer genes) can cause tumor regression in preclinical and clinical translational studies. Based on her findings, she has initiated clinical trials studying how targeted therapies affect cancer signals in kidney cancer and low grade lymphoma. In the laboratory, she uses new nanotechnology strategies for tumor diagnosis and treatment to define biomarkers for personalized therapy.

Mengni Guo
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Oncology
BioDr. Mengni Guo is a medical oncologist in the Division of Oncology at Stanford University School of Medicine and a member of the Stanford Breast Cancer Program. She specializes in the care of patients with breast cancer, from active treatment through long-term survivorship. Dr. Guo emphasizes an individualized, team-based approach, working closely with patients and multidisciplinary specialists to develop treatment plans that reflect each patient’s clinical needs, personal values, and long-term quality of life.
Dr. Guo’s research focuses on breast cancer survivorship, particularly metabolic health during and after cancer treatment and the prevention and management of long-term treatment effects. She also uses large real-world datasets to study breast cancer treatment patterns and outcomes and to identify strategies to improve long-term health after cancer therapy. Her research has been presented at national meetings, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting. -
