Dr. Liang Deng, MD, PhD, is a board-certified dermatologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers, including melanoma, genetic skin disorders, drug hypersensitivity reactions, therapy-induced skin toxicity, and skin manifestations of infections in immune-compromised individuals. The majority of his patients have prior histories of skin cancer, and his clinical approach centers on three core priorities: delivering high-quality treatment for newly diagnosed skin cancers, performing thorough skin examinations for early detection, and educating patients on sun protection and skin self-examination. He utilizes whole-body photography for patients with many atypical moles and elevated melanoma risk, helping to identify new or changing lesions over time. Dr. Deng collaborates closely with colleagues across the melanoma disease management team, which includes specialists in medical oncology, clinical immunology, surgery, dermatology, and radiation oncology. He is also fluent in Mandarin Chinese.
