"Cozy inpatient environment and considerate health care brought me here, one of my relatives who had cancer got treatment here last year and he yielded good efficacy at present, so I was relieved when I came here because I knew they can cure me as well. Even though I didn’t feel any uncomfortable caused by my skin cancer, I will follow doctors’ suggestion here until all of my cancer cells are killed completely."

Confirmed as skin cancer with no sign

64-year-old Vuong The Hung, from Vietnam, suffered from basal cell carcinoma. Early in year 1977, Vuong The Hung found a mass under his right orbit and was cured after ablation. However, mass returned in 2002 and he removed it through surgery. But in October 2017, mass recurred again in the same lesion, after biopsy in local hospital on Oct. 16, he was diagnosed as basal cell carcinoma (a form of skin cancer) and doctor advised him surgery to remove it. Vuong The Hung rejected it and later he came to St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou for minimally invasive therapy.

It was hard for Vuong The Hung to connect mass in his face with cancer since he didn’t feel any uncomfortable before confirmation. For many cancer patients, such as patients with lung cancer, liver cancer and stomach cancer etc., usually, they suffer serious pain or discomfort before final diagnosis. However, there was no sign for Vuong The Hung.

Resolutely come to St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou

After final diagnosis, Vuong The Hung resolutely came to St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou for minimally invasive therapy, without considering other cancer hospitals for another choice.

Vuong The Hung and doctor

"I didn’t worry a lot about my disease after diagnosis. One of my relatives is cancer patient too. He was confirmed in 2016 and admitted into St.Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, currently he returns for regular checkup and his condition is well under control. When he was recuperating at home in Vietnam I once listened to his description of life and treatment here in hospital, so I came here directly, I chose here because I trust them. I came here within one week after diagnosis."

Relieved with minimally invasive therapy

On Vuong The Hung’s arrival, the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) arranged him a consultation and based on his condition, doctors tailored him an individualized treatment plan of interventional therapy combined with local radiotherapy. His attending doctor told us, that mass won’t cause him any discomfort but it is necessary for him to be treated and observed in case of cancer cells metastasis to surrounding parts. He looks as good as ever, with normal diet and sleep and normal weight, without cough or swelling or pain in stomach, it seemed that minimally invasive therapy had little impact on his daily life.

Vietnam medical expert delegation visited Vuong The Hung

"I feel good after treatment since I don’t feel any side effects caused by minimally invasive therapy. I still keep daily exercise just as before. I think I look better than ever. Days ago, there was a medical expert delegation from Vietnam visiting St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou for technical exchange promotion and Vietnamese experts visited me and told me not to worry too much, to treat cancer with an optimistic attitude and follow the doctor's suggestion. I am not worried because I trust doctors and technologies here."Vuong The Hung said delightedly.
