Guang-shing Cheng MD

Dr. Cheng is a pulmonologist and critical care specialist who sees patients at the SCCA who have pulmonary complications after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT), including infectious pneumonia and non-infectious pulmonary complications. She also performs bronchoscopies for the diagnosis of respiratory infections as well as early detection of lung cancer and other pulmonary conditions. She has authored two chapters about mediastinal disease for the Textbook of Respiratory Medicine, the definitive text on pulmonary disorders.

Dr. Cheng is focused on improving outcomes for stem cell transplant patients with respiratory failure that today can lead to early mortality. She has studied the role that respiratory viruses can play in non-infectious pulmonary complications in this immunocompromised population. Dr. Cheng is developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches that might prevent lung damage or improve lung function after failure. She is also advancing diagnostic strategies for early detection of lung cancer.
