Bor-Shyue Hong's Obituary
Dr. Bor-Shyue Hong was a professor of biochemistry, and a director of research at Alcon Laboratories. He was also a loving husband, father of two, and grandfather to five grandchildren. As a man of great contributions to both science and family, he will be dearly missed by friends, colleagues, and family.Dr. Hong was diagnosed with combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma (HCC-CC), a rare form of liver cancer, just a short month before his passing. As is often the case in liver cancer, any indication of potential abnormality only arose at a very late stage. We hope that ongoing research can help to provide better approaches for early detection of liver cancer and improve survival for today's liver cancer patients.
