Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital is Thailand's first private hospital dedicated entirely to cancer care. Located on the Bangkok Hospital campus in central Bangkok, it operates 60 private beds and is part of the BDMS network. JCI-accredited and recognized as an ESMO Designated Centre of Integrated Oncology and Palliative Care, Wattanosoth provides 360-degree cancer care from screening and diagnosis through treatment, rehabilitation, and palliative support.
Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital opened in 2006 on the Bangkok Hospital Headquarters campus in the Huay Khwang district. The hospital operates under Bangkok Dusit Medical Services (BDMS), Thailand's largest private healthcare network.
The hospital focuses exclusively on cancer care, covering prevention, screening, diagnosis, treatment, and post-treatment support. It runs multiple specialized centers under one roof, including a Medical Oncology Center, Surgical Oncology Center, Radiotherapy Center, Breast Center, Hematology Center, Bone and Marrow Stem Cell Transplant Center, and a dedicated Early Detection Center for cancer screening and risk assessment.
Wattanosoth was the first private cancer hospital in Thailand to install an in-house cyclotron for producing PET radiopharmaceuticals, including F-18 FDG, F-18 FDOPA, and C-11 PiB. The PET/CT scanner uses flow technology for continuous-motion imaging, reducing scan time and improving patient comfort. The Radiation Oncology Center offers linear accelerators with Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) for targeted treatment delivery.
Treatment options span chemotherapy (including molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy), radiation therapy, surgical oncology, brachytherapy, and palliative care. The hospital takes a multidisciplinary team approach, bringing together oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, pathologists, pharmacists, nutritionists, and specialized cancer nurses for each patient's treatment plan.
Wattanosoth holds JCI accreditation and JCI Clinical Care Program Certification for its Breast Cancer Conserving Therapy program. In 2025, it became the first private hospital certified as an ESMO Designated Centre of Integrated Oncology and Palliative Care, a recognition from the European Society for Medical Oncology that validates its integration of palliative care within cancer treatment. The hospital also collaborates with the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the National Cancer Center Japan for academic exchange, research cooperation, and physician training.
With a 48-physician team and support staff trained specifically in oncology, the hospital treats patients from across Thailand and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
