Cancer is the leading cause of death in Thailand and is a leading cause of death globally. According to the WHO, in 2022, there were 20 million new cancer diagnoses and 9.7 million cancer-related deaths. It is estimated that by 2050, new cancer diagnoses will increase to 35 million annually. Also, Thailand’s National Cancer Institute saw that as of 2022 the number of new cancer cases was up to 140,000 annually — with about 400 new cases daily and 83,000 cancer-related deaths.
Bumrungrad International Hospital organized a press conference “United in the fight against cancer” with a strong commitment to fighting cancer through detection and treatments that are individualized, targeted, and effective. We also place importance on early detection and risk assessment through advanced genomic testing, enabling our patients to manage or even reduce their cancer risk. For patients in their last stages of life, we offer comprehensive palliative care. Our teams of oncologists and multidisciplinary healthcare professionals utilize the latest medical advances to ensure patients, and their families, have the highest quality of life possible.
