Bangkok Cancer Hospital Wattanosoth Partners with BDMS Wellness Clinic
Promoting Better Quality of Life for Breast Cancer Patients Under the Concept “Care Beyond Cure – Beyond the Cure, our Care Never Ends.”
As October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Bangkok Cancer Hospital Wattanosoth continues to innovate in its approach to breast cancer care with its concept “Care Beyond Cure – Beyond the Cure, our Care Never Ends”, providing Total Breast Cancer Care that goes beyond just treatment. The goal is to ensure that patients and their families can return to their lives with quality and balance at all stages. This is achieved through the adopting ICHOM standards (International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement), which focus on improving care outcomes and life quality, from treatment initiation through follow-up, to further enhance the patients’ quality of life.
Dr. Satit Srimontayamas, breast surgeon and director of Breast Center, Bangkok Cancer Hospital Wattanosoth, explained that traditional treatments for breast cancer include modalities, e.g. surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Due to medical advancements in breast cancer care, novel approaches have emerged aiming at improving treatment outcomes and increasing chance of being cured while minimizing treatment side effects or adverse reactions, resulting in a better quality of life to patients and their families. These advanced approaches refer to new minimally invasive surgical technique – endoscopic breast surgery with breast reconstruction using either implants or the patient’s own tissue as well as targeted therapy and immunotherapy guided by genetic profile testing to select the most suitable option best suited to individuals.
Prof. Dr. Thiravud Khuhaprema, Director of Bangkok Cancer Hospital Wattanosoth, pointed out that Concept of Care Beyond Cure focuses on:
• Patient-Centered Approach: We place patients at the heart of every decision — engaging them in treatment planning conducted by a full multidisciplinary team,
• Holistic Care for Body and Mind – As the mind and body are deeply intertwined, we go beyond treatment with holistic care, addressing body, mind, social well-being, and the spirit of hope.
Ensuring international standards, Bangkok Cancer Hospital Wattanosoth has adopted ICHOM, an international system to measure treatment result, emphasizing the value of healthcare in all dimensions, from the beginning of treatment through recovery and health restoration to elevate the breast cancer care.
Dr. Tanupol Virunhagarun, Chief Executive Officer of BDMS Wellness Clinic and BDMS Wellness Resort, affirmed that BDMS Wellness Clinic is committed to personalized breast cancer care. After main treatment journey is completed, a team of specialists works together to provide customized treatment plan, focusing on both physical and mental recovery, including nutritional balance, sleep quality, skin and hair care, and suitable exercise post-surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy as well as emotional healing and stress management. This comprehensive care helps cancer patients and their families regain confidence and live their best life.
Beyond the cure, our care never ends – Besides breast cancer treatment, our ultimate goal is to empower patients and their families to restore quality of life, prevent recurrence and move forward with confidence. FROM CANCER CARE TO CANCER WELLNESS.
