Providing cancer care services from screening, prevention, diagnosis to treatment, as well as continuous evaluation and follow-up of treatment outcomes to reduce the risk of complications and recurrence.

Treatment Options
The Beyond Health Center Cancer Center at Phyathai Nawamin Hospital provides care for various cancers covering all body organs, such as:
- Lung cancer
- Colon cancer
- Breast cancer
- Liver cancer
- Cervical cancer
- Laryngeal and throat cancer
When the Beyond Health Center Cancer Center admits each patient case into the treatment process, the Multidisciplinary Team consisting of specialists from various fields and related multidisciplinary professionals such as gastroenterologists, surgeons, obstetricians-gynecologists, cardiologists, radiation oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, physical therapists, and radiology technicians will hold joint meetings. They analyze and review all data and test results to plan treatment and ensure patient care is aligned, selecting the most appropriate method for each patient.
The nursing team, known as FAMILY NURSE, cares for patients like family members, providing comprehensive physical and psychological care. They offer advice on preparation and coping with potential physical side effects to ensure patients are ready at every treatment stage. They also provide home visits to arrange a suitable environment for patient care by relatives.
“Because we understand that patients in our center must receive care for both body and mind, and not only the patients themselves, but we also care for their families, as they are an important support to help patients have the strength to fight the disease.”
We organize GROUP THERAPY sessions for patients and relatives at the Beyond Health Center to help patients enhance their body, movement, and sensory functions after treatment. They can also pass on various items they make to friends, acquaintances, or underprivileged patients. Activities under Friend to Friend (peer support) that have been held include:
- Nutritionists demonstrating and advising on suitable meal preparation for patients
- Producing special masks for patients undergoing radiation therapy on the neck area
- Teaching how to sew breast prostheses for patients who have undergone mastectomy
- Teaching how to sew and knit hats
- Music therapy activities to provide relaxation for patients
- Collecting donations and making wigs to give to underprivileged patients
- Organizing groups and sharing experiences among patients and caregivers to build morale and promote proper patient care
All of these are to boost patients’ morale and encourage their commitment to maintaining good health to fight the disease, as we believe that good morale is a crucial part of self-care for patients to regain better health.
