Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou

Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou is a JCI-accredited specialist cancer centre in Guangzhou, China, established as a joint venture between Perennial Holdings (Singapore) and the Boai Medical Group (China).

Core treatment approach: it specialises in minimally invasive, non-surgical therapies, prescribed by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) and combined with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Key advanced therapies: NanoKnife (irreversible electroporation, IRE), cryotherapy, interventional treatment/drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolisation (DEB-TACE), Iodine-125 radioactive seed implantation, and targeted immunotherapy.

International patient support: end-to-end support for international medical travellers — including regional representative offices in Southeast Asia (such as Kuala Lumpur), multilingual interpreters, visa assistance, and culturally appropriate services.

Interventional treatment (DEB-TACE): A very fine catheter (microcatheter) is guided directly into the blood vessels feeding the tumour. The doctor delivers chemotherapy locally together with an embolic agent to cut off the tumour's nutrient supply, minimising systemic toxicity.

Tumour destruction with the NanoKnife: An advanced technique that uses high-voltage electrical pulses to break down the cell membranes of a solid tumour. It is highly regarded for preserving critical nearby structures such as nerves and large blood vessels.

Cryoablation: A local treatment in which a probe delivers extremely cold temperatures (liquid nitrogen) directly into the tumour, freezing and destroying the diseased tissue in place.

Radioactive seed implantation (Particle Knife): Tiny radioactive iodine seeds are implanted directly into the tumour tissue. The seeds emit radiation locally to destroy cancer cells from within, minimising exposure to the rest of the body.

Gene-guided targeted therapy: The treatment regimen is fully personalised to the specific gene mutations of each patient's tumour, using precision molecular drugs to block cancer growth.
