Why More Patients Choose Koo Foundation Sun Yat-Sen Cancer Center—and Why the Numbers Back Them Up
If you or a loved one has just received a cancer diagnosis, choosing where to be treated is the first critical decision. Below is what our latest data mean for you.
1. Higher Odds of Beating Cancer
| Cancer Type | KFSYSCC | National Average |
|---|---|---|
| Breast (women) | 92 % | 85 % |
| Lung | 43 % | 38 % |
| Colon | 65 % | 58 % |
| Rectum | 64 % | 57 % |
| Prostate | 86 % | 71 % |
| Head & Neck (oral cavity) | 75 % | 62 % |
These are not projections—they are real-world outcomes from 2018-2022.
2. A Team Built Entirely Around Cancer Care
KFSYSCC is Taiwan’s first—and still only—hospital created exclusively for cancer. Every surgeon, oncologist, nurse, pharmacist, dietitian, therapist, and social worker works with cancer patients all day, every day. That depth of focus translates into faster diagnoses, more precise treatment plans, and smoother recoveries.
3. Precision Medicine From Day One
Tumor DNA and RNA sequencing guide drug choices instead of trial-and-error chemotherapy.
PSMA PET/CT pinpoints prostate-cancer spread that ordinary scans miss—and allows same-day Lu-177 therapy in house.
Case managers track every lab value, scan, and side effect so nothing slips through the cracks.
4. The Best Nurse-to-Patient Ratio in Taiwan
More nurses at the bedside mean IV lines are checked sooner, pain is controlled faster, and complications are caught before they become emergencies. Patients and families consistently tell us this is the difference they can feel every day.
5. Whole-Person Support
Fighting cancer isn’t only medical. At KFSYSCC you have:
On-site psychologists and chaplains for emotional resilience.
Nutritionists who customize meal plans to keep strength up during chemo.
Rehab specialists for swallowing, speech, and mobility—so you leave treatment with the best function possible.
6. Innovation Without the Wait
Our value-based payment model and on-site clinical-trial unit mean breakthrough treatments—CAR-T cells, Lu-177 PSMA, triple-sequential stem-cell transplant—reach our patients months to years before they become widely available.
What This Means for You
Choosing KFSYSCC increases the likelihood you will:
Live longer—and often be cured.
Feel better during treatment because side effects are anticipated and managed.
Stay active at home and work thanks to rehab and supportive care woven into every plan.
You deserve the same outcomes reported by the world’s top cancer centers. At Koo Foundation Sun Yat-Sen Cancer Center, those outcomes are already happening—every day, for patients just like you.
