LiYing Cai, M.D., Ph.D., is a cardiologist with expertise in diagnosing and managing heart disease. Dr. Cai chose City of Hope because she wanted to pursue her interest in an emerging field: how cancer treatment affects patient heart function and rhythm.
Because radiation and chemotherapy drugs can damage your heart, cardio-oncology is increasingly becoming a focus — and why City of Hope uses all available research tools to learn more about the heart-cancer connection. Dr. Cai understands that it's equally critical to carefully monitor and quickly treat heart complications during your cancer care — both of which Dr. Cai gets to do at City of Hope.
Dr. Cai received her medical degree from Beijing Medical University and Ph.D. from Indiana University School of Medicine. She completed her cardiology fellowship training at the University of Chicago.
