Cancer Screening
Advanced Early Cancer Detection System
Until recently, accurately detecting cancer through blood sampling was not possible due to low accuracy rates. However, a groundbreaking system developed by Seoul National University Hospital now enables early detection of six types of cancer: stomach, liver, lung, colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer. In addition to cancer detection, this test can also identify early signs of diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. The procedure is quick, painless, and capable of detecting cancer at stages that traditional tests may miss. Utilizing a multiplex in-vitro method that analyzes 30 biomarkers, this advanced screening system achieves an impressive 85-95% accuracy rate. Currently, this cutting-edge test is available only at select clinics partnered with Seoul National University Hospital.
Comprehensive Cancer Diagnosis
Cancer screening at leading hospitals in Seoul involves both traditional and advanced diagnostic techniques. Specialists use a combination of methods to ensure accurate detection and classification of cancer, including tumor biopsies, bone marrow biopsies, chest X-rays, complete blood counts, CT scans, liver function tests, MRI scans, digital infrared thermographic imaging, PET scans, and PET-CT scans. Since some cancers—especially lymphomas—can be difficult to classify, obtaining the correct diagnosis at a specialized facility is crucial. Accurate cancer identification allows oncologists to develop the most effective treatment plan, increasing the chances of successful treatment and recovery.
Cancer Treatment
Korea is at the forefront of cancer treatment, boasting some of the highest survival rates in the world. With state-of-the-art medical technology and innovative treatment methods, hospitals in Seoul offer comprehensive care that extends beyond medical procedures to include specialized nutrition plans designed to support faster recovery.
Cutting-edge advancements such as the Da Vinci Robotic Surgery system, nuclear medicine, radiotherapy, proton accelerators, cyberknife, and Tomotherapy enable minimally invasive procedures that effectively target and remove tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. These treatments are administered by highly specialized medical teams dedicated exclusively to cancer care.
Korea has achieved remarkable success in treating various types of cancer, particularly stomach, liver, and cervical cancer—conditions that are more prevalent in the region. The country continues to pioneer new treatment approaches, with ongoing research pushing the boundaries of medical innovation. In a breakthrough announced by the Korean Ministry of Science, scientists have developed nano-robots capable of targeting cancer cells directly. This emerging technology has the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment, reducing the harmful side effects of chemotherapy by delivering medication precisely where it is needed.
Advanced Organ Transplantation in Korea
Korea is a global leader in organ transplantation, offering a highly advanced and efficient system. The process follows strict guidelines set by the Korean Network for Organ Sharing (KONOS) and is managed in collaboration with top medical professionals and state-of-the-art facilities. Each transplant application is carefully evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients.
Korea has consistently ranked among the highest in various transplant success rates. Notably, in 2005, an organ transplant team from Johns Hopkins Hospital visited Korea for a three-week training program in living liver transplantation. Professor Robert Montgomery, the renowned surgeon who pioneered a technique to overcome organ rejection in ABO-incompatible transplants, praised Korea’s expertise, stating that “Korea has the best living liver transplant technique.”
One of the key advantages of Korea’s transplant system is its efficiency. While organ transplantation can take up to 12 hours in many countries, Korean surgeons complete the procedure in just 6-7 hours, thanks to their precision, advanced techniques, and cutting-edge medical technology.
