Accurate and comprehensive diagnosis of cancer:

• TNM staging considering the following together:
  • Tumor size
  • Node involvement, and
  • Metastasis
• Diagnosis of cancer cells regarding their sensitivity to certain hormones and proteins, relying on two sets of data: whether the cancer cells have hormone receptors and whether they have human epidermal growth factor receptor-2, allowing doctors to choose the most appropriate and the most effective medicines for the patient
• Biopsy to confirm the type and severity of the abnormal lump by Bumrungrad’s well-experienced specialists in performing biopsies with high accuracy in cancer diagnosis
• Liquid biopsy for cancer diagnosis, a blood test with the next-generation sequencing, a modern technology that can find abnormal genetic material, cancer cells in the bloodstream, and certain types of cancer DNA, making it possible to estimate the number of cancer cells and to monitor the risk of recurrence or metastasis, with accuracy in diagnosis of  solid cancers such as breast, lung, and colon cancers
• Microsatellite instability (MSI) testing to see if the patient responds to immunotherapy

• Bile Duct Cancer
•  Bladder Cancer
•  Breast Cancer
•  Cervical Cancer
•  Colon cancer
•  Esophageal Cancer
•  Leukemia
•  Liver Cancer
•  Lung Cancer
•  Ovarian Cancer
•  Prostate Cancer
•  Stomach Cancer

Cancer prevention screening program highlights

• A comprehensive range of health examination programs from determining the risks and accurately screening for cancer in early stages
• A team of experts in various related fields such as medical geneticists and geneticists who are able to interpret test results accurately
• Genetic testing in the hospital laboratory with world-class accreditation
• A multidisciplinary team of specialists in all related fields providing advice on health care and testing programs appropriate for each individual
  Genetics and external risk factors such as environment are analyzed to determine the extent of the risk of causing cancer and then prepare proper risk-reducing programs for patients so they face minimal risk or have a better chance of being cured of cancer.

• Chemotherapy is treatment with drugs administered orally or intravenously to destroy cancer cells or keep them from growing.
• Radiation therapy uses beams of intense energy to kill cancer cells.
• Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) is an IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) technique where the radiotherapy machine rotates around the patient, continuously controlling the rotation speed, radiation dose, and shielding management. Treatment delivery time is thus reduced while precision and effectiveness is increased.
• Stem cell transplants are used to treat patients with cancer affecting blood cells. In the procedure, the patient receives healthy stem cells, their own or from donors, to replace the damaged ones.
• Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy for cancer treatment where tiny radioactive pellets are placed inside or next to the tumor, allowing for a precise treatment and reducing damage to healthy tissues surrounding the cancerous tumor.
• Targeted therapy is the treatment of cancer where drugs or other substances are used to inhibit cellular signaling, which controls cell growth and division.
• Immunotherapy is the treatment of cancer where the immune system is boosted to help the body effectively eliminate or control cancer cells.
• Cryotherapy is a safe and minimally invasive therapy for those with lung cancer who are not good candidates for other standard treatments like surgery, radiation 
  therapy, and chemotherapy.
• Cancer surgery is an operation to treat cancer. A variety of surgical methods are available for particular types and stages of cancer from conventional standard surgery to that using advanced technology such as robot-assisted surgery.

The Horizon Regional Cancer Center at Bumrungrad Hospital recognizes that it is important to keep on improving the quality of cancer preventive care as well as treatment of cancer patients to meet the needs of patients and those at risk of developing cancer. Cancer is a complex disease prompting patients to require personalized care and treatment. Thus in treating cancer patients whose symptoms and conditions differ from one another, we are committed to providing a variety of precise treatment options that are safe and of world-class quality for our patients.
