Profile

With the development of medical technology, many treatments have been improved greatly. Currently, medical professionals are engaged in not only treating cancer, but also preserving the functions of organs. Nowadays, treatments for throat and bladder cancer allow the organs to maintain their functions, so patients have no trouble living their daily or professional lives. Some patients with prostate cancer do not even feel any difference before and after treatment. It is great that the Tumor Therapy Team at Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital has entered a new stage. With the effort of all team members and the new proton therapy technology, our team can provide better assistance and care for patients.
