General YUWANUD of Thailand, once a prominent figure in Thai politics, fought against lung cancer at the age of 70 and achieved great results.

In 2021, General YUWANUD was diagnosed with lung cancer and underwent a right lung resection in Thailand. He also received multiple systemic chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but his condition wasn’t under control and multiple metastases occurred. Due to his advanced age and extremely high-risk hypertension, the General's body was overwhelmed. In March 2024, he came to our hospital to seek more advanced treatment methods. After only two rounds of comprehensive minimally invasive interventional therapies, the tumor was reduced by 60%, symptoms such as dyspnea were greatly improved, and life returned to normal.

We firmly believe that minimally invasive interventional therapy is a better choice

"Minimally invasive interventional therapy is the main reason why we choose to come here for treatment because interventional therapy can avoid normal tissues that haven’t been invaded by cancer cells. Compared with systemic chemotherapy through intravenous injection of chemotherapy drugs, this advanced treatment method protects normal tissues." Systemic chemotherapy is undoubtedly a treatment method that "to kill one thousand enemy soldiers while one loses eight hundred soldiers". While killing cancer cells, it also kills normal cells in the surrounding tissues. In comparison, minimally invasive interventional therapy is to diagnose and treat diseased tissues or organs through special instruments such as guide wires, catheters, and puncture needles under the guidance of medical imaging equipment. It has the advantages of being minimally invasive, precise, efficient, safe, repeatable, and having few side effects.

The doctor inserts a catheter from outside the patient's body into the artery that supplies the tumor and directly infuses high concentrations of therapeutic drugs into the tumor lesions, which can kill tumor cells or inhibit their growth while reducing the toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs on normal tissue cells, improving the therapeutic effect by 4-10 times.

The treatment plan tailored for General YUWANUD by our hospital's MDT medical team is minimally invasive interventional therapy + seed implantation + immunotherapy. Minimally invasive interventional therapy kills lung cancer cells, causing the tumor to shrink continuously until it disappears. At the same time, seeds are placed at the site of metastatic lymphoma to eliminate the risk of superior vena cava compression syndrome. Immunotherapy can enhance the patient's immunity improve the patient's overall physical fitness, and play a role in protecting the health of elderly lung cancer patients. After two integrated minimally invasive interventional therapy with CT reviewing, General Yuwanud's tumor has shrunk by 60%, and shortness of breath has disappeared. When he was admitted to the hospital, General Yuwanud was in a wheelchair and needed external assistance to take a bath. Now he can move freely and live conveniently. He only needs to continue treatment according to the doctor's orders and he’s expected to be "cured."

A friend was treated here and he has been "clinically cured" for nearly 10 years

When asked why he chose to come to our hospital for treatment, the general’s wife spoke eloquently: “A friend of mine happened to know Mr. Prasit, and he introduced us to each other. Prasit was diagnosed with stage IV laryngeal cancer, and the doctor at the local hospital in Thailand said he would not live more than 2 months. After treatment at St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, he was “clinically cured”. Now 10 years have passed, and he’s still in good health and spirits.” With the introduction of Mr. Prasit, General Yuwanud came to St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou International Service Center in Bangkok for consultation. After the consultation, he decided to come to our hospital for treatment on the same day. The staff of the service center assisted him with the admission procedures. It only took 2 days from consultation to admission.

(The General had a cordial exchange with the director)

After being admitted to the hospital, I found that all my worries were unnecessary

Many patients worry about language barriers, inconveniences in life, and dietary differences when going to the hospital for treatment. However, they find that all the worries are unnecessary after being admitted to the hospital. "I was impressed from the moment I arrived at the airport. As soon as I got off the plane, a hospital convoy met me at the airport, and a local Thai translator accompanied me all the way. I was even more impressed after I arrived at the hospital. I checked in directly without waiting. Whether it was the ward, nurses, translators, or doctor teams, they were all very professional, rigorous, and warm. They had arranged a special medical team according to my medical records. The hospital has set up special departments according to different types of cancer, such as breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer, and they are equipped with professional doctors. After seeing these, we knew that we had chosen the right hospital." This is the most intuitive feeling of the general's wife about our hospital. St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou not only has advanced medical technology, but also is equipped with a butler-style one-stop service, dedicated to solving patients' problems in all aspects of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, to ensure that patients have no worries during the treatment process.

We hope that integrated minimally invasive interventional therapy will become the choice of more patients

"For patients who are seeking treatment methods, I recommend you to consider minimally invasive treatment at St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. This was the unanimous decision of my family and me after learning about many hospitals and many treatment methods. The results prove that our choice is right." For cancer patients, time is life. The growth rate of cancer cells and the rapid progression of the disease are still huge challenges for human medicine. Choosing the right hospital and the right treatment method can not only delay the progression of the disease in time but also is the most important step on the road to fighting cancer. St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou has been deeply engaged in international minimally invasive tumor treatment for nearly 20 years. It not only has first-class minimally invasive technology, a strong MDT expert team, and the highest quality medical services but will also work with cancer patients to fight cancer and escort patients' anti-cancer causes.

*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.
