Recommend Hospital for lymphoma diagnosis?

[seff55]

Or doctors who specialize in lymph nodes/lymphoma. Thanks in advance.

There is a specialist cancer hospital  in Bangkok at Bumrungrad

These  are both part of the most famous medical schools in Thailand. Maybe worth trying these.
They're both government hospitals I believe, but they have a semi-private section

 

1.Siriraj Hospital

2.Chula Hospital

Good luck.

Bumrungrad I believe is a cancer center?  Bangkok Hospital has a dedicated hospital called Wattanosoth Cancer Hospital.

 

Be aware cancer treatment can become extremely expensive so if government facilities are an option they should be considered.

You need a CAT scan to see whether Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkins. And what stage, of course. If you've got plenty of money, go to a private hospital. Otherwise, go to the Police Hospital on Sukhumvit, opposite Central World. If you're married, (to a Thai), take your marriage certificate along, and you may get the same rate as Thai patients. eg., instead of 1000 baht for a consultation, it's 50 baht. You don't need a <deleted> "Cancer Centre", just a good oncologist. These days, lymphomas have around 90%, 5 year survival rate, if caught early!

Good luck.

My son (Thai/US) was operated on and received his treatment at Phramongkutklao Hospital. I highly recommend. However, not sure how accessible it is for a foreigner, w/or without Thai wife. 

 

The team was educated and trained in the US. Great people. The lead Doctor works with, somehow tied to St. Jude Children's Hospital.  

 

Hospital is difficult and sometimes frustrating to navigate as you aren't catered to like at a private hospital. They don't work with insurance companies so all charges are out of pocket until reimbursed by your insurance company. 

 

At our first meeting, the lead doctor educated me on private and government (Phramongkutklao Hospital) hospitals in Thailand. Bit of an eye opener.

 

My son just completed his last annual CT scan for disease maintenance. This was done at Phoenix Children's Hospital. PCH confirmed that my sons team made the correct decisions regarding whether to operate or not and also confirmed his treatment program as being consistent with what they would have administered. 

 

Again, I highly recommend Phramongkutklao Hospital.

All the major hospitals in Bangkok treat cancer and all have doctors who specialize in lymphoma.

 

A major consideration -- if it is lymphoma -  is cost as this will get quite expensive at a private hospital.

 

However it sounds like the condition has not actually been diagnosed? Can you clarify the situation and why you think it is lymphoma as opposed to another cause of lymph node enlargement?
