Pioneer of Transplantation, Navigation with Trial
A leading blood and oncology medical center in central and southern Taiwan, providing patients with high-quality medical services through rich transplant experience, innovative transplant methods, strong clinical trial capabilities, and connection to advanced international treatment plans.
Department Introduction
The Hematology and Oncology Department is patient-centered, offering personalized precision medicine to treat various blood disorders, as well as solid tumors such as head and neck cancer, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancer, urinary tract cancer, and sarcomas. As the center with the richest transplant experience in central and southern Taiwan, we actively develop novel hematopoietic stem cell transplant methods to improve success rates and reduce side effects. Utilizing cutting-edge technology for molecular testing, genetic studies, and Phase I clinical trials ensures accessibility for patients, providing targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and cellular therapy for cancer patients. At the same time, we actively participate in international multi-center clinical trials to access the latest global drugs and medical technologies.

Innovative Research and Development
1. CIK for leukemia Treatment
Utilizing the patient's own immune cells enhanced through ex vivo cultivation and reinfused back, CIK cells can directly kill tumor cells, secrete anti-cancer cytokines, and enhance the overall immune response with minimal side effects. This immunotherapy is suitable for leukemia that are unresponsive to standard treatments.
2. AI-Assisted Comprehensive Chemotherapy Care
A chemotherapy care process centered on AI technology is established, covering steps such as physician prescription, pharmacist dispensing, and nursing administration. This enhances prescription safety, provides detailed documentation and management of drug side effects, and optimizes the patient care experience.
3. Immune Reconstruction Monitoring
After hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, regular monitoring of blood cell subpopulations and immunoglobulin levels is conducted to assess immune function recovery. This helps predict infection risks, guides the use of immunosuppressants, and aids in vaccination, ultimately improving transplant success rates and reducing the risk of complications, helping patients achieve optimal treatment outcomes.

Service
Disease
▪︎ Hematologic Malignancies : Anemia, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, coagulation disorders.
▪︎ Solid Tumors : Head and neck cancer, thyroid cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, gastric and pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, urinary tract cancer, sarcoma, cancer immunotherapy.
Symptoms
▪︎ Anemia : Typically accompanied by fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, and shortness of breath. These symptoms are mainly caused by insufficient red blood cell production or excessive destruction, affecting blood oxygen supply.
▪︎ Abnormal White Blood Cells : Characterized by frequent infections, recurrent fever, and even unexplained inflammatory reactions, commonly seen in leukemia patients.
▪︎ Thrombocytopenia : Manifesting as bleeding tendencies, including bruising on the skin, bleeding from the gums or nose, and even bleeding without external injury.
▪︎ Lymphadenopathy : One of the hallmarks of cancer, especially lymphoma, with painless swelling commonly felt in the neck, armpits, and groin.
▪︎ Systemic Symptoms : Including weight loss, loss of appetite, fever, and night sweats, which may result from tumor-released cytokines, reflecting the systemic impact of cancer.
