St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou hospital provides 18 advanced minimally invasive treatment methods that can effectively treat the symptoms of breast cancer at different stages. Many breast cancer patients choose our hospital for minimally invasive comprehensive treatment. Our MDT will develop corresponding treatment plans based on the patient's personal physical condition. The following are several patients' sharing about their treatment process. After minimally invasive treatment, they were successfully discharged from the hospital and returned to normal life.
Venus - Philippines - Breast cancer stage IV
Venus - Philippines - Breast cancer stage IV

Venus, 5 years old, was diagnosed with invasive catheter cancer at a local hospital in July 2023. Worried about the side effects of traditional chemotherapy such as nausea and vomiting, anemia, fatigue, and decreased immunity, Venus resolutely refused chemotherapy. After learning about the minimally invasive technologies of St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, Venus and her husband came to our hospital. After a series of examinations, the MDT of the hospital formulated a treatment plan for her involving interventional therapy and microwave ablation. After the first interventional treatment, the tumor was effectively controlled. Compared with the first admission examination, the tumor shrank significantly, from the original 8.5x3.2cm to 7.9x2cm.

Mayette - Philippines - Breast cancer

Mayette, a breast cancer patient in the Philippines, was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer in 2013. After about 2 years of conventional treatment, the effect was not good and the disease recurred in 2023. Ulcers appeared in the left breast and a huge mass of nearly 7cm grew in the breast. In March 2023, she came to St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou for treatment. The MDT of St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou conducted a detailed analysis of Mayette's condition and developed a minimally invasive plan of microwave ablation + arterial interventional treatment. After receiving minimally invasive comprehensive treatment, the breast tumor almost disappeared in 3 months and she has now returned to normal life.

Leonisa – Philippines – Breast cancer stage IV
Leonisa – Philippines – Breast cancer stage IV

Leonisa, 50 years old, is a stage IV breast cancer patient. In March 2022, a lump was found in her right breast during the examination. After the mastectomy, the pathological results showed breast cancer. After the mastectomy, Leonisa did not receive further treatment, but turned to drug therapy. But in January 2024, the cancer recurred again. She chose to come to St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou for minimally invasive treatment. The doctor developed a comprehensive treatment plan of "interventional therapy + particle implantation + gene targeted therapy" for Leonisa. At present, she has returned to the workplace and her life is back on track.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Filipino women, accounting for a significant proportion of cancer cases in the country. According to the Philippine Cancer Society, breast cancer represents nearly 30% of all cancer cases among women.In recent years, the incidence rate has increased, making it a leading cause of cancer mortality in the country.
Stage Description 5-Year Survival Rate
Stage 0 Non-invasive (DCIS) Nearly 100%
Stage I Early stage; tumor small and localized ~99%
Stage II Localized disease, possibly spread to nearby nodes ~93%
Stage III Locally advanced, significant spread to lymph nodes ~70%
Stage IV Metastatic disease; cancer has spread to distant sites ~29%
"Early detection and early treatment" is the golden rule for breast cancer treatment. However, in reality, most breast cancer patients are diagnosed at the intermediate or advanced stages. Therefore, minimally invasive treatment for breast cancer not only brings new hope for breast-conserving treatment for early-stage patients but also provides more treatment options for those with advanced breast cancer.

The treatment of breast cancer is not a one-size-fits-all approach, but comprehensive one. In addition to traditional surgical methods, doctors will consider the individual circumstances of each patient (such as the type of breast cancer, stage, age, physical condition, etc.) and may incorporate interventional therapy, cryotherapy, iodine seed implantation, and other minimally invasive techniques to develop the most suitable treatment plan.
Interventioanl Therapy
Interventioanl Therapy

Interventional therapy mainly involves injecting anti-tumor drugs into the primary lesion of breast cancer or other metastatic tumor tissues. Drugs are directly given to the tumor site through blood vessels, and drugs can directly treat tumor cells, with more direct and faster effects and less harm to the human body.

Microwave Ablation
Microwave Ablation

In Microwave Ablation(MWA), a probe will be inserted into tumors, and micro electromagnetic waves will be released to destroy and ablate the cancerous tissues directly. Targeting clearly and affecting intensely on the tumor, MWA won't produce obvious side effects to normal tissues.

Seeds Implantation
Seeds Implantation

The particles are placed directly into the possible path of the tumor or metastatic tissue. The implanted particles will continuously emit γ rays in the tumor, accurately targeting cancer cells. 2 mm minimally invasive, no need for resection, no need for radiotherapy or chemotherapy, retaining cervical tissue, good efficacy and fast recovery, reducing the risk of metastasis and recurrence.

Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy

“Extreme Cold”+“Extreme Hot” treatment. Ultra-low temperature freezes the tumor into an ice ball, causing coagulative necrosis of the tumor cells, and then rapidly heats the tumor tissue to thaw and explode it. No surgery required, small incision, few side effects. Suitable for early treatment of cervical cancer.
