Over the years, St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou has consistently adhered to the service principle of "patient-centered" and the vision of "becoming a globally recognized international hospital." Over the past two decades, based in China but reaching out internationally, we have established 10 overseas branches and provided services to over 50,000 international cancer patients. We have disseminated and introduced minimally invasive cancer treatment technologies to multiple countries in Southeast Asia. Looking ahead, with the reopening of the Lung Cancer Clinical Prevention and Treatment Center, we are poised to bring new hope and good news to a large number of lung cancer patients by leveraging integrated minimally invasive treatment technologies.

*Surgery, in addition to the appropriate chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are effective in treating early cancer, but certain patients in late stage of cancer may not be tolerate surgery well as they can be relatively weak. A combination of carefully planned minimally invasive therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the side effects and discomfort of treatment and may help patient get better efficacy.
