Medical Oncology Center

The Medical Oncology Center at Bangkok Heart Hospital is dedicated to providing specialized outpatient cancer services in the field of medical oncology. The center's goal is to offer treatment options that enhance the patient's quality of life and reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. The center is staffed by specialized oncologists and a multidisciplinary medical team who provide personalized treatment plans and services tailored to each individual patient. Patient and family education is an integral part of the center's approach, ensuring that patients are well-informed and involved in the decision-making process. 

The services offered at the Medical Oncology Center include: 

• Chemotherapy: The administration of medications, either orally or through injections, to destroy or inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be used to cure cancer, control its spread, or relieve symptoms. 

• Hormone Therapy: This treatment blocks the effects of hormones that promote the growth of certain cancers, such as breast cancer. It is effective for hormone-sensitive or hormone-dependent cancers. 

• Targeted Therapy: This newer type of cancer treatment uses drugs or substances to identify and attack cancer cells specifically, with minimal damage to normal cells. It is often used in combination with other treatments to block the growth and spread of cancer cells. 

• Immunotherapy: This treatment stimulates and supports the immune system in effectively fighting cancer cells. Monoclonal antibodies, a form of immunotherapy, attach to specific proteins in cancer cells to help eliminate them. 

The Medical Oncology Center follows the 360 Cancer Care model to provide comprehensive services. The center's specialized medical personnel, including oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, and psychologists, work together to ensure high-quality care.
