Anatomic Pathology and Clinical Pathology
About Me
Dr. Yuxin Liu is a Professor of Pathology and Director of the Gynecologic Pathology Service and Fellowship Program. Her academic focus centers on HPV-associated cervical and anal cancers, with a strong commitment to advancing translational research in these areas.
Together with Drs. Michael Gaisa and Keith Sigel in the Department of Medicine, they lead a productive anal cancer research program within the Mount Sinai Health System (PPAC). She serves as co-PI on several NCI-funded clinical trials, including the SWAN study—the first anal cancer screening trial focused on women with a history of cervical precancer or cancer.
From 2021 to 2023, Dr. Liu served on the Board of Directors of the International Anal Neoplasia Society (IANS), an organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of anal cancer. She currently directs the HPV Pathology Core Laboratory for the AIDS Malignancy Consortium (AMC) and provides central pathology review for multiple AMC-sponsored clinical trials conducted both nationally and internationally.
Dr. Liu is also the lead author of the cervical SIL section in the 6th edition of the WHO Classification of Female Genital Tumors.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Liu has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
