History[edit | edit source]
The Shanghai Cancer Center was originally established on March 1, 1931, as the Sino-Belgian Radium Institute, located within the Sacred Heart Hospital of Shanghai (now Yangpu Central Hospital). It was funded by a minor remittance of the Boxer Indemnity paid by China to Belgium. In 1936, it became an independent institute and was renamed the Shanghai Radium Institute after the Communists captured Shanghai in 1949. It was affiliated with the Shanghai First Medical College from 1954 and was later renamed the Cancer Hospital of SFMC.
