Our center employs an “integrated cancer team” treatment system, which facilitates collaboration among multiple departments for each major cancer type.
In other words, our integrated treatment services are designed to identify the most appropriate and efficient treatment options when establishing a diagnosis and treatment plan for cancer patients, which allows patients to receive comprehensive care within the Cancer Center, eliminating the need to visit multiple departments.

For the early detection of severe diseases, we offer a “Specialized Comprehensive Screening Program”.

Early detection and treatment are vital for conditions such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, and rare diseases. The Healthcare Center at Konyang University Hospital provides a specialized comprehensive screening program, which incorporates basic comprehensive screenings and delivers precise, customized examinations tailored to each patient's gender and specific disease type.
