The opening of Ward 8 of the International Oncology Department has further enhanced the comprehensive medical service capabilities of the hospital, which indicates that St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou has achieved a leap from revival to take-off after the epidemic. In the future, the ward will continue to adhere to the "patient demand-oriented" development model, continuously optimize the medical and nursing processes, and improve service quality.

*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.
