Samsung Medical Center
- Samsung Cancer Center cooperates with MD Anderson Cancer Center, No.1 medical facility in the USA. Korean and American specialists together develop new treatment options for stomach cancer treatment.
- About 700,000 patients choose Samsung for treatment.
- Samsung Hospital has achieved a world record regarding the number of surgeries. Over 1,800 stomach cancer and 1,500 colorectal cancer procedures have been performed since 2008.
- Samsung Medical Center provides a “diagnostics for 1 day” service for international patients.
- Specialists of the hospital perform a laparotomy, laparoscopic surgery, and robotic surgery. An endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is performed to remove a tumor with a special tube — a patient can go home the same day after the procedure.
- The physicians also apply personalized therapies or targeted molecular agents for every stomach cancer patient — now Samsung doctors develop targeted therapy to combine it with other treatments to increase the effectiveness.
