Technology and equipment for cancer treatment in Vietnam are becoming more and more advanced, approaching the progress of the world medicine, some top doctors from the National Cancer Hospital (K Hospital) said at a conference in Ho Chi Minh City on September 11. The K Hospital is using the Gamma Knife Icon radiosurgery system, the most modern radiotherapy machine generation in the world for radiotherapy. With this device, cancer patients in Vietnam have an additional modern treatment method for multimodal treatment of brain tumors without having to go overseas. Advances in cancer surgical surgery, especially cancer surgery by robots, have become routine in Vietnam, a doctor revealed. According to statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO), the proportion of Vietnamese people with cancer was 151.4 /100,000 people last year, ranking 99 out of 185 countries and territories, 19th in the Asian region and 15th in the Southeast Asian region. The number of new cancer cases in Vietnam reached 165,000 in 2018. (Tin Tuc, Tin Tuc)
