Oncology Center
A disease that is difficult to treat, cancer is today the leading cause of death in Thailand. MedPark Hospital’s Oncology Center is staffed with doctors with expertise in various types of cancer and long experience in both treatment and research. Equipped with the very latest in equipment and technology, the Center’s skilled multi-disciplinary team is on hand to treat cancer patients and help them to enjoy quality of life.
MedPark Hospital’s Oncology Center is well prepared to take care of and treat patients suffering from any type of cancer. The most prevalent types in Thailand are cancers of the breast, liver, colorectal system, lungs and cervix. In addition to its efficient medical team and modern equipment, the Center encourages research as a means to acquire more knowledge about new treatment methods, which in turn increases the opportunity for successful treatment.
Complete care by multidisciplinary team
At MedPark Hospital’s Oncology Center, we emphasize the importance of teamwork in holistic and effective treatment. Our expert team of oncologists work closely with specialists in all relevant disciplines. Palliative care is provided to treat patients physically and mentally, covering both the disease itself and the possible side effects of the treatment. We also take good care of the mental health of our patients and their families.
Treatment with latest knowledge
MedPark Hospital’s Oncology Center’s offers each patient a personalized treatment plan that uses modern technologies including chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Our expert physicians carefully consider all aspects of the disease and the unique genetic and molecular profile of each patient in order to prescribe the most appropriate therapy, medicine and technology to achieve the best outcome. Treatment plans are available for patients who are unable to visit the hospital every day to ensure that they receive not only the desired medical care, but benefit from maximum convenience.
Specialist expertise plus modern equipment
Cancer of any kind is difficult to treat and there is always a risk of recurrence. MedPark Hospital places importance on the treatment of difficult and complex diseases and has built its team based on their abilities and expertise in treating and performing the most difficult of surgeries. For example, the team is able to perform molecular whole-lymph-node analysis to identify possible spread of cancer cells without incision – a method so difficult that only a few hospitals in Thailand are able to offer this service. The team can perform laparoscopy (an operation using small incisions with the aid of a camera) for thyroid carcinoma and treat drug-resistant cases by performing genetic examinations to determine possible effective treatment.
Encouraging research for improved treatment
MedPark Hospital encourages our doctors and other medical personnel to acquire additional knowledge and conduct research in order to constantly improve efficiency of treatment, thus offering patients more choices and better quality of life. Although most cancers are incurable, medical expertise and new knowledge can increase the patient’s chance of enjoying long-term remission, living more comfortably and benefiting from an improved and longer quality of life. Our aim is to turn cancer from being a life-threatening malignancy into a manageable chronic disease.
At MedPark Hospital’s Oncology Center, our team uses equipment, medicine and modern technology in such a way as to efficiently work simultaneously on both treatment and holistic care. This, combined with continuous research by our physicians into new and existing treatment protocols, ensures the Center is able to treat cancer patients efficiently and attentively.
Moreover, MedPark Hospital’s Oncology Center places emphasis on the quality of life of our patients and their family members. An encounter with cancer does not mean the patients and their families have to suffer forever. While we are committed to treatment and care, our main focus is the happiness of patients and their families. The goal is to ensure that the patient’s improved quality of life starts from the treatment stage. MedPark Hospital’s Oncology Center has a support team on hand to help patients and their loved ones through both the physical and mental effects. We aim to make sure that our patients do not feel they have to suffer alone. This is the key to treating and curing cancer patients. They might have a malignant disease but we can improve their quality of life and their happiness.
