Surachet

Ten years ago, 53 year old Surachet was diagnosed with, and began receiving treatment for, gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Eight years later, after the cancer returned, he sought medical advice from Dr. Surachat Chakrapee-Sirisuk, a Medical Oncologist at Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital. A second cancer was discovered, and Surachet is now receiving chemotherapy for both cancers.

Maria

31 year old Maria, an expat living and working in Thailand, was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. She sought advice on treatment options from Dr. Chatchai Koowattanapaisan, a Medical Oncologist at Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital. One year later, Maria considers herself cancer-free.

PET/CT Scan

A cutting-edge imaging technique for the diagnosis of cancerous tumors. A combination of the PET scan and CT scan, the PET/CT is capable of detecting both physiologic abnormalities and cancerous cell abnormalities at the molecular level. This allows for more efficient and accurate treatment, while also helps doctors determine how the cancer is responding to treatment. If a recurrence is detected at an early stage, the doctor can act before the cancer spreads.

Varian Edge Radiosurgery Suite

The Edge has the highest dose rate in the industry which coupled with the ability to localize and target previous inoperable tumors makes this a critical addition to our non-invasive cancer treatment arsenal.
