The clinic also has state-of-the-art systems for rapid diagnosis, chemotherapy infusion centres and patient data management platforms.

Asan Medical Center

In 2019, Asan Hospital performed its 20,000th endoscopic surgery to remove a stomach tumour.

To treat lung cancer, doctors use surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. These methods are combined depending on the nature and stage of the tumour.

At the cancer treatment centre, you can undergo a new pre-implantation genetic test NGS. At the moment it is the most accurate test for diagnosing hereditary oncology. More than 2,800 patients have undergone it in 2019.

The oncology department has organised a competent system of post-operative care. This approach reduces the chances of complications and helps patients recover faster.

It has Breast Cancer Centres, Lung Cancer Centres and a multidisciplinary prostate cancer treatment centre.

Breast Cancer Treatment Centre at Asan Clinic

More than 20,000 breast tumour surgeries have been performed at the Asan Centre in Korea. In the Department of Breast Cancer Treatment, 70% of tumour removal procedures are performed with organ preservation. If the breast cannot be saved, doctors perform reconstructive surgery.

After mastectomy, oncologists at the clinic usually prescribe radiotherapy using the ‘5 pathways’ technology. This is a procedure for irradiating the remaining cancer cells. This approach reduces the risk of pathology recurrence by 31%. In addition, chemotherapy, anti-hormonal therapy and targeted therapy are available at the Breast Cancer Treatment Centre at Asan Medical Centre.

The doctors of the clinic are proud of the high survival rates of their patients: after the removal of breast cancer at stages 1 and 2, 97% of patients live for 5 years, and at stage 3, more than 80% of patients live for 5 years.

Asan Hospital’s Prostate Cancer Centre has a ‘One stop’ diagnostic system. It allows you to undergo prostate cancer screening and get the result within 1 day.

At the Asan Medical Centre, prostate cancer is treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery and hormone therapy.

The centre has the advantage of being able to remove prostate tumours with the Da Vinci robot. In 2017, the clinic performed the 5,000th robotic operation for resection of a prostate tumour.

Gastroenterology at Asan Hospital

The Gastroenterology Department specialises in the treatment of acute and chronic gastrointestinal diseases. It performs laparoscopic and endoscopic surgeries to treat the stomach, intestines and pancreas. The success rate of such operations exceeds 90%.

The largest department for the treatment of Crohn’s disease operates on the basis of the department. More than 50% of cases of this disease are treated with the help of sparing laparoscopic surgery. After such intervention, a person recovers within a week and can quickly return to the usual way of life. Complications are extremely rare (no more than 4% of patients).

Cardiac surgery and cardiology at Asan Hospital in Korea

About 200 aortic valve replacement surgeries are performed at Asan Hospital each year using the TAVI method. The survival rate for this complex operation is 99%. Patients after the age of 80 are operated on with intravenous sedation. Therefore, the procedure has become standard for elderly patients with severe aortic valve disease.

In addition to traditional surgical treatment, minimally invasive surgical interventions have been introduced here: percutaneous treatment and a combination of surgical interventions.

In 2024, Professor Yoo Jae Suk performed the 500th minimally invasive 3D endoscopic cardiac surgery. This technique is used to treat heart valve and atrial septal defects, heart tumours and atrial fibrillation. During these surgeries, a 3D endoscope is used and the surgeon wears special glasses to view the volumetric images, which improves the perception of the depth and thickness of tissues. This helps to perform more precise manipulations and increases the safety of the operation. The success rate of the method, for example in mitral valve correction, is up to 99%.

Asan Medical Center

With the opening of the hybrid operating theatre at Asan Clinic, it is now possible to perform conventional and percutaneous surgeries in a single intervention. This ensures a higher success rate and also reduces the risks of complications.

There is also a special laboratory for vascular diseases, where various methods of non-invasive examination of the cardiovascular system are available, allowing for accurate and quick detection of the slightest abnormalities in the heart.

The Asan Clinic has an Aortic Disease Treatment Centre. Here, modern methods are used to treat aortic pathologies such as aortic aneurysms, aortic dissection and aortic stenosis.

Asan Clinic conducts numerous studies in the fields of cardiology and cardiac surgery to improve the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In 2024, a team of cardiologists led by Professors Gi-Byung Nam and Duk-Woo Park published an important study showing that anticoagulant monotherapy is more effective than traditional dual antithrombotic therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation and stable coronary heart disease. According to the results, the rate of serious complications such as death, stroke and bleeding was reduced by 56% after one year of treatment. These findings, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, could change global clinical guidelines.

In December 2019, Asan Medical Centre performed a complex liver transplant from a living donor for a patient with cirrhosis and myelodysplastic syndrome. Hospitals in the US were reluctant to take on a patient in serious condition.

Doctors from Stanford Hospital recommended the Asan Clinic for the liver transplant, noting that South Korea is far ahead of the US in this field. The 18-hour surgery was successful and the patient returned to the US in February 2020 to continue chemotherapy courses.

These units are used in urology, breast, prostate and colon oncology, as well as endocrine surgery, liver transplantation and hepatobiliary surgery, pancreatic surgery, paediatric surgery, otolaryngology, obstetrics and gynaecology.

Robotic surgery at Asan Hospital took root quite quickly. In a short time, the highest number of surgeries in Korea was recorded here. In 2017, about ten years after the Da Vinci robot was introduced, doctors performed 10,000 robotic surgeries.

Seoul Asan Hospital is constantly striving to provide effective and safe treatment for every patient. In 2007, the medical centre installed the Da Vinci robot, a state-of-the-art medical equipment for minimally invasive interventions.

Korea’s first robotic tracheotomy with reconstruction through thoracic access has been successfully performed at Asan Hospital. A team led by Professor Yong-Hee Kim from the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery removed a rare tracheal tumour diagnosed in a 71-year-old patient. The tumour was extremely rare (glomangiomyoma) and is one of only 3 known cases in the world. The surgery using the da Vinci robotic system lasted 4 hours.

The hospital has treated about 450,000 emergency patients, the highest number in Korea.

In January 2020, surgeons at the Asan Centre operated on a 12-month-old baby boy. The child was born with a congenital heart defect – transposition of the main vessels. During the operation, the surgeons of Asan Clinic restored the position of the main vessels and corrected the defect of the interatrial septum.

The paediatric department of Asan Clinic performs orthopaedic surgeries. One of the most famous cases is the correction of 100-degree scoliosis in a 17-year-old girl from Kyrgyzstan. She underwent traction treatment for a month and then underwent two successful surgeries. After all the interventions, the curved spine straightened and the girl grew 8 centimetres.

Check-Up at Asan Clinic

Asan Clinic offers Check-Up, a comprehensive medical examination aimed at early detection of diseases and assessment of the patient’s health status. Based on the results of the examination, specialists develop individual recommendations for prevention and treatment.
