"From despair to renewed life" - hear their stories

Mr. Wang from Vietnam
was diagnosed with liver cancer at the end of 2022
After three years of visiting multiple hospitals, he was told that treatment hope was fading
He finally came to UNI-ASIA Hospital, where Dr. Liao performed three minimally invasive interventional treatments
Today, clinical assessment shows he has reached a state of clinical cure
He has returned to the orchard he loves and is enjoying his later years

They also once felt desperate, until they came to UNI-ASIA Hospital

Mr.Wang · Liver Cancer
A 71-year-old Chinese patient was diagnosed with liver cancer. Because the tumor was adjacent to major blood vessels and the patient was elderly and physically weak, he visited multiple hospitals over three years and was repeatedly told that surgery was not possible and that he could not tolerate chemotherapy. No effective treatment options remained. After being referred to Uni-Asia Cancer Hospital, he underwent three sessions of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). He recovered smoothly after the procedures, and follow-up examinations showed that the tumor had almost disappeared, achieving clinical cure. He has now returned to his orchard and resumed normal life.
Liu Heyi · Liver Cancer
A Chinese patient was diagnosed with liver cancer accompanied by severe bile duct obstruction, severe systemic jaundice, and a weight loss of nearly 15 kg within one month. His bilirubin level was as high as 257.50 umol/L. Because the tumor was adjacent to major blood vessels, several hospitals assessed that surgical resection would carry an excessively high risk. After being referred to UNI-ASIA Cancer Hospital, he underwent two interventional treatments. He recovered quickly after the procedures, was able to get out of bed the next day, his jaundice subsided, his weight stabilized, and he has now returned to normal life.
Xiao Li · Liver Cancer
A 9-year-old Chinese girl was diagnosed with a massive tumor in the second hepatic portal region of the liver. Due to its proximity to major blood vessels, multiple hospitals deemed it inoperable. Her family then brought her to Chengdu Uni-Asia Hospital, where Professor Liao Zhengyin's team, after multidisciplinary discussion, formulated a precise, minimally invasive interventional treatment plan and successfully performed the procedure. The patient adhered to regular follow-ups as advised. Imaging surveillance showed complete tumor regression, with no recurrence for 17 consecutive years and all parameters remaining normal. Today, she has graduated with honors as an outstanding university student and is now working professionally, enjoying a long-term, high-quality life.
Professor Zhu · Liver Cancer
70 years old, retired professor from the University of Geosciences, with a 35-year history of hepatitis B. In May 2025, he was diagnosed with a massive hepatocellular carcinoma in the left lobe of the liver, measuring 12 cm in diameter, accompanied by ascites, moderate anemia, and severe liver dysfunction. After being transferred to Chengdu UNI-ASIA Hospital, Professor Liao Zhengyin’s team performed hepatic arterial angiography with infusion and embolization therapy in two sessions. Two months later, follow-up examination showed that the tumor had shrunk to 6 cm, the ascites had significantly subsided, and liver function had markedly recovered. He has now returned to normal life.
Wang Xiulan · Liver Cancer
Chinese female patient, 41 years old, with a solitary large mass of hepatocellular carcinoma in the right lobe of the liver. The tumor compressed the bile duct, causing severe jaundice. Due to the tumor's large size and unfavorable location, surgical resection was not possible. The patient had previously undergone radiotherapy and chemotherapy at another hospital, but with poor response and severe toxic side effects, including nausea, vomiting, and bone marrow suppression, making further treatment impossible. A multidisciplinary team (MDT) at Chengdu Uni-Asia Cancer Hospital conducted a consultation and performed two sessions of hepatic arterial interventional therapy after the referral. The patient recovered rapidly post-surgery, jaundice subsided, and pre- and post-treatment CT comparisons showed tumor volume reduced by over 70% with loss of viability. The patient has regained the ability to live independently and returned to her daily family life.
Grandma Jia · Liver Cancer
Chinese national, 78-year-old female, diagnosed with hilar cholangiocarcinoma presenting with systemic jaundice. After undergoing PTCD drainage at an outside hospital, her jaundice temporarily improved. However, due to the tumor's challenging location and her advanced age, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were not feasible. After referral to Chengdu Uni-Asia Cancer Hospital, a multidisciplinary team developed an individualized interventional plan, and she underwent two sessions of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Post-treatment, the tumor significantly shrank, bile drainage was restored, her stool color returned from clay-white to normal yellow, her appetite recovered, her mental status markedly improved, the drainage tube was removed, and she returned to a peaceful, later-life routine.
Catia · Liver Cancer
A 42-year-old Filipino patient was diagnosed with primary liver cancer with intrahepatic metastases and a tumor thrombus in the inferior vena cava (stage IV), and had lost the opportunity for surgical resection. He was referred to Chengdu Uni-Asia Hospital through an international referral center. Professor Luo Xiaoping’s team first performed biliary drainage to relieve jaundice, and after his condition stabilized, carried out hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy and embolization to control the tumor. After the procedure, his abdominal distension was significantly relieved; he was able to get out of bed the next day and was successfully discharged to return home.
Akun · Liver Cancer
A Chinese patient was diagnosed with liver cancer accompanied by metastasis to the C3 cervical vertebra and a pathological fracture. On admission, he had severe neck pain and markedly limited movement. The Uni-Asia team first performed cervical vertebroplasty to stabilize the vertebra and relieve pain, and on the following day performed transarterial chemoembolization of the hepatic artery to control the intrahepatic tumor. After surgery, his pain was significantly relieved; he was able to get out of his wheelchair and walk, and he was in good spirits at discharge.

UNI-ASIA Hospital · Minimally Invasive Liver Cancer Treatment System

Based on tumor stage, liver function reserve, and overall health, we create a personalized treatment plan instead of a one-size-fits-all approach.

No open surgery, targeted tumor control, and less damage to normal liver tissue, helping many mid- to late-stage patients gain new treatment opportunities.

Traditional treatment
Tumors over 5 cm or multiple tumors are often considered unsuitable for surgery
Larger wounds and higher bleeding risk
Average hospital stay of 10-14 days
Greater burden, especially for patients with cirrhosis or weak physical condition
Normal life may take 1-3 months to resume
Minimally invasive technology
Over 90% of patients may gain downstaging opportunities through intervention plus ablation
Only needle-sized punctures, with no open incision or sutures required
Hospital stay of 3-5 days, with major lesion management often completed in one treatment
Minimal trauma, precisely acting on liver tumor lesions
Return to normal life and diet in about 3-7 days
Patient benefits
Renewed treatment hope
Less pain and faster recovery
Saves time and energy, with better overall care value
Maximizes preservation of normal liver tissue and liver function
Significantly improves postoperative quality of life

Without open surgery, tumors can still be precisely targeted through China’s leading minimally invasive combinations:

intra-arterial-therapy
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE)
It is primarily used for the palliative treatment of intermediate to advanced-stage primary liver cancer, liver metastases, and hypervascular tumors in areas such as the head, neck, and lungs. It can also be used as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy to help reduce the risk of local recurrence.
nanoknife
NanoKnife Ablation Technology
It is primarily indicated for solid tumors located in anatomically complex regions adjacent to major blood vessels, bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, the intestines, or nerves—such as locally advanced pancreatic cancer, hilar hepatic tumors, renal hilar tumors, and prostate cancer. This technique offers a safe and effective option for curative or cytoreductive treatment in patients with unresectable lesions or tumors unsuitable for conventional thermal ablation.
iodine-125-seed-implantation
Iodine-125 Seed Implantation Technology
It is primarily indicated for solid tumors that are unresectable, recurrent, or metastatic after radiotherapy and chemotherapy, including primary liver cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, and pancreatic cancer, as well as recurrent or metastatic tumors of the head and neck and pelvic regions.
argon-helium-cryoablation
Argon-Helium Knife Ablation Therapy
It is widely used in the treatment of liver cancer, lung cancer, renal cancer, as well as bone and soft tissue tumors. The technique is particularly suitable for lesions adjacent to the thoracic or abdominal wall, adrenal glands, and multiple metastatic tumors, making it an important component of the minimally invasive ablation system for solid tumors.
radiofrequency-ablation
Radiofrequency Ablation Therapy
It is indicated for solid tumors such as solitary or multiple liver cancers and liver metastases measuring ≤5 cm in diameter, primary and metastatic lung cancers, renal cancers, and osteoid osteomas. For unresectable or recurrent tumors, it can also serve as an important palliative cytoreductive strategy to prolong survival.
microwave-ablation
Microwave Ablation Therapy
It is widely used in the treatment of liver cancer, liver metastases, lung cancer, adrenal tumors, and other solid malignancies. The technique is particularly advantageous for hypervascular tumors larger than 3 cm in diameter or those located adjacent to major blood vessels. It is also commonly combined with vascular interventional therapies and immunotherapy to achieve enhanced therapeutic outcomes.
stent-placement
Stent Placement
It is widely used for the palliative treatment of malignant luminal obstructions, including dysphagia caused by esophageal cancer, obstructive jaundice due to malignant biliary obstruction, dyspnea resulting from tracheal stenosis, malignant colorectal obstruction, and superior vena cava syndrome.
vertebroplasty
Percutaneous Vertebroplasty
It is a cornerstone approach for maintaining spinal stability and improving quality of life in various conditions, including vertebral metastases, multiple myeloma with vertebral involvement, aggressive vertebral hemangiomas, and painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
chemo-targeted-immunotherapy
Chemotherapy combined with Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy
It is widely used across various common solid tumors—including non-small cell lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer—in the first-line, adjuvant, and neoadjuvant settings, consistently improving survival and quality of life.
high-intensity-focused-ultrasound
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
Primarily indicated for benign and malignant solid tumours such as uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, bone metastases and fibroadenomas of the breast. It is particularly suitable for patients unsuitable for surgery or those with a strong desire to preserve organ function, and has been extended to palliative debulking of solid tumours such as pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer.
deb-tace
Drug-loaded microsphere embolisation
Primarily used for the interventional treatment of well-vascularised tumours, such as mid- to late-stage primary liver cancer and liver metastases from colorectal cancer. It is often combined with ablation, targeted therapy and immunotherapy to improve local control rates and prolong patient survival.
radioembolization
Radioactive Microsphere Embolisation
Primarily indicated for primary liver cancer and liver metastases that cannot be surgically resected, particularly in patients with portal vein tumour thrombi, poor hepatic reserve, or those unresponsive to chemotherapy. This approach can significantly prolong survival and improve quality of life.
