Dr. Xun brings decades of experience in cancer care, hematology and research to NARMC. Her experience includes targeted therapy, immunotherapy and biomarker-specific treatments, as well as extensive work in hematology and oncology research.

She provides care for patients with a wide range of cancers and blood disorders, with an approach centered on understanding each patient as an individual and developing a treatment plan based on their diagnosis, needs and circumstances.
“Cancer affects the whole family, so treatment is tailored to the family as well as the patient,” Dr. Xun said.
Dr. Xun earned her medical degree from Hunan Medical University and a Master of Science in Immunology from Beijing Medical College. She completed an Internal Medicine residency at the University of Kentucky and a fellowship in Hematology/Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
