"Everything in life is impermanent; we never know tomorrow and accident, which will come first. Although we got cancer, we should never feel desperate in that we still have the chance to take treatment. Now that we got cancer, we should face with it bravely and take treatment timely."---- VOO CHEW WAH

VOO CHEW WAH, 46 years old now, comes from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In September 2015, VOO CHEW WAH found a mass on the right side of his neck, which was about 4cm. Since there was no discomfort, VOO CHEW WAH just took it as inflammation and took some Chinese herbal tea to control it. However, the Chinese herbal tea did not work, so he had to go to hospital for further examination. A lump was found in the right side of his nasopharynx when taking conchoscope. Biopsy result showed that VOO CHEW WAH got stage Ⅲ nasopharyngeal cancer. He has three children and his wife was going to give birth to his fourth child in October, he was really happy at that time. However, this happy life was broke by the bad news.

Although VOO CHEW WAH was sad, he quickly accepted the fact that he got nasopharyngeal cancer. Optimistic as him, he even comforted his wife and families. He told his wife to accept the fact and faced it with courage and easiness. He promised to his wife that he would pull though and see their children grow up. He told himself that children are so young that his wife could not carry such a heavy burden, he must cooperate with treatment and pull though it.

Therefore, VOO CHEW WAH started to look for better cancer treatment. Actually, doctor in local hospital of Malaysia suggested him to take chemotherapy and radiotherapy when he was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer. He refused, because he knew that chemotherapy and radiotherapy could not help him pull though, he had to find some treatments that are better than chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Later, VOO CHEW WAH’s friend recommended him Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. He went to the Kuala Lumpur Office of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou for further details about the treatment and hospital. According to his CT scan and other medical reports, Professor Peng Xiaochi explained to him his condition in detail and made him a therapeutic plan. Professor Peng explained that nasopharyngeal cancer is common in China; Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou has advanced minimally invasive therapy and rich experiences in treating nasopharyngeal cancer. After consultation, VOO CHEW WAH decided to take cancer treatment in China because he fully trusts Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. His wife and family members also agree to his decision.

VOO CHEW WAH’s tumor has developed into the fourth stage when he was hospitalized in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. According to his condition, the multidisciplinary team (MDT) of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou specially made him a therapeutic plan based on interventional therapy. Interventional therapy is a mini-invasive therapy performed under the guidance of medical imaging equipments. With a 1-2 millimeter incision, paracentesis can be performed with the lead of medical imaging equipment. Then a special tube, catheter or other sophisticated apparatus are introduced to inhibit the growth and spread of cancer cells, so as to cut off the tumor’s blood supply and reach the effect of local chemotherapy without any toxic side effects of chemotherapy. Compared with traditional chemotherapy and radiotherapy, interventional therapy has the advantages of small trauma, few side effects and high efficiency, etc.
