Radiation oncologist S. Peter Wu, M.D., was inspired to become a physician by the example of his mother, who was a pediatric surgeon in her native China. After the family came to America, he watched as a child while she put in many years of hard work to obtain her stateside license as a doctor.
Today, Dr. Wu continues her legacy by providing patients with the same quality of care that he would want for himself or a family member. He joined City of Hope in 2023, having co-authored over two dozen peer-reviewed scientific studies spanning basic mechanisms in cancer and its treatment, clinical trials of new therapies and cancer epidemiology. He also has a particular special interest in radiotherapy for breast cancer patients. Before City of Hope, Dr. Wu worked at Holy Name Medical Center in New Jersey.
An immigrant from China who has lived in five states and trained in New York City, Dr. Wu loves serving patients of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders and belief systems. He is a proud husband and father of two young children.
