Precision Medicine

Cancer Avatar is used to determine the right medications, which would boost patients’ confidence and the accuracy of the treatment. For instance, if 10 types of chemotherapy are compatible with the patient’s cancer pathogenesis, the doctor will test the efficacy and response of each of those types of chemotherapy with Cancer Avatar. This allows the doctor to determine or choose the type of chemotherapy that turned out to be the most suitable type for cancer without requiring the patient to test all those 10 types.

Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) is a type of cancer treatment where medical specialists from a range of medical fields work together for integrated care by analyzing patients’ data to conduct the most effective and proper treatment plan for each patient.

When you have been diagnosed with cancer, it’s natural to have an immediate urge to find the best cancer hospital in Thailand for your treatment. If you live in Bangkok, you’re in luck. Vejthani Hospital in Bangkok is considered by many to be the best cancer hospital in Thailand. But even if you live in another area of Thailand, you may want to make arrangements to travel to Bangkok to have your cancer treated. 

Generally, treating cancer with medications requires a waiting period to see how the patient responds to the given drugs. If the response is not as expected, the type of drugs may need to be changed.

Cancer diseases have the highest fatality rate among Thais. The number of cancer patients is increasing each year with a 90% cause of the disease arising from external factors and lifestyles that raise the risk of cancer. Certain food consumptions, stress, viral infections, smokes, consumption of alcohol are some of the factors.  Cancer treatment has therefore been developed to boost its efficacy on patients while reducing the side effects of the drugs to be as low as possible.  

Data from the National Cancer Institute have found that there were 139,206 new cancer patients in 2021 and 84,073 ones of which died. The top five cancer types that are the most prevalent among Thai people are liver and bile duct cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer and colon and rectal cancer as well as cervical cancer. Cancer treatment has been vastly developed in the present days in terms of both screening technologies and chemotherapy that are designed to reduce the chance of side effects and personalized treatment plan for each patient.

Cancer is the major public health problem worldwide as the number of new cancer diagnoses and cancer deaths has been continuously increasing every year. This also generates more awareness of the disease and the methods of treatment.
