Cao Hoai Nam, 48, appears younger than his years while walking down Hang Trong Street in Hanoi while sporting a light pink blouse and a trim build. Few people realized that six months before his re-examination, he was a late-stage throat cancer sufferer as he drove a motorcycle to the appointment with his wife in tow.
He has made a miraculous recovery thanks to advanced radiation therapy, or VMAT, the most cutting-edge radiotherapy method available today for head and neck cancer.
Cancer "defeat" - Health restoration
Mr. Cao Hoai Nam is still being routinely checked on at Vinmec Times City International General Hospital following six months of radiation therapy and dietary care, which minimized the negative effects of radiation therapy. The treating physician determined that he was responding well to the medication because the tumor had completely disappeared. Taste has returned, speech is normal, Mr. Nam is eating and sleeping well, his skin is ruddy, and he has gained 3 kg since the treatment. His quality of life has fully recovered from his sickness.
Radiation Therapy Department Head at Vinmec Times City Hospital, Dr. Doan Trung Hiep, stated: "Mr. Nam is one of the few cancer patients who never loses their cheerful outlook on life. We seek treatment if the mind is ill, much like cancer. He followed the treatment plan as a result, and the outcomes were excellent."
A year prior, Mr. Cao Hoai Nam experienced swallowing discomfort and hoarseness that was getting worse. He was identified as having throat cancer that had spread to the cervical lymph nodes at Vinmec Times City International General Hospital. A large tumor that has invaded the larynx can lead to an airway obstruction, hoarseness that worsens, trouble swallowing, and painful swallowing. But surgery was not an option for him due of his frail and underweight state. Because of this, the Vinmec Oncology Committee consulted with him before recommending concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, as well as radiotherapy using an accelerator with volume modulated arc volume (VMAT), a cutting-edge technique that enables the treatment of the most cutting-edge head and neck cancer cases in existence right now.
Vinmec uses VMAT, the most advanced radiation technology.
Arc volume modulated radiotherapy (VMAT) is the most advanced form of dose-modulated radiotherapy now available, with the notable benefits of shorter treatment times and high dose concentrations at tumors. minimize the negative effects by lowering the minimal dose for the neighboring healthy cells. Patients' treatment times are cut shorter as a result of achieving optimal efficiency.
Vietnam is seeing an increase in cancer cases, making it increasingly vital to have access to cutting-edge cancer screening and treatment technologies. So that cancer patients in Vietnam can have access to powerful anti-cancer weaponry, Vinmec has consistently updated innovative treatment techniques. Vinmec needs modern radiation therapy equipment and a group of skilled medical professionals in order to create cutting-edge radiation therapy techniques like SBRT, VMAT, IMRT, SRS...
In parallel, Vinmec is developing a Center for Cardiology and Oncology with assistance from the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, with a focus on comprehensive development in knowledge, scientific research, human resources, and operation to the highest standards. The US uses the world. Vinmec gradually reaches cancer treatment success levels comparable to industrialized nations in the region through multimodal cancer treatment while remaining current with cutting-edge treatment techniques.
The Vinmec Times City International General Hospital's Radiation Oncology Center is fully stocked with cancer treatment options, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Blood tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, magnetic resonance imaging, myelograms, biopsies, immunohistochemistry, and biological diagnostic molecules are used to carefully make the diagnosis.
In order to provide the patient with the best treatment plan at the most affordable price, the treatment process is closely coordinated with many specialties, including the Center for Diagnostic Imaging, Laboratory Testing, Cardiology, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Department of Endocrinology, Department of Rehabilitation, Department of Psychology, and Department of Nutrition.
