Part of the Bangkok Hospital network, the Wattanasoth Cancer Hospital is completely devoted to cutting-edge cancer treatment and research. It employs state-of-the-art equipment and enjoys a solid international reputation.

The hospital’s staff includes a diverse group of specialists working in tandem to deliver the most sophisticated diagnostic and operational procedures available. The level of attention patients receive here is high, especially by Western standards; with several specialists involved with specific aspects of treatment.

One of the hallmarks of Wattanasoth Hospital’s cancer treatment regiment is early detection. Ultra-modern diagnostic tools are used to pinpoint potential problems early, greatly increasing the chances of survival. Diagnostic technology at the hospital includes CT Scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cyclotron PET scans.

The treatment plans for cancer patients are tailor-made and may involve chemotherapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and intervention radiology. Gamma Knife Surgery is a cutting edge procedure that can address acute brain tumors through minimally invasive surgery. Another cutting edge tool in Wattanasoth Cancer Hospital is the Novalis system for single-session radiation therapy.

The hospital also offers nutritional consultation to patients, an important aspect of holistic cancer treatment. It is important for recovering patients to eat food high in protein and calories. Side effects of cancer treatment often include loss of appetite, and onsite dieticians are sensitive to this.
