Chung-Ang University Hospital

The Gastroenterology Department at the Chung-Ang Clinic treats all gastrointestinal diseases, including malignant ones. It provides effective treatment for cancer of the stomach and pancreas as well as hepatitis B and C.

Importantly, the team in the gastroenterology department of the clinic is constantly researching, discovering and introducing new, more effective approaches to treating these conditions.

The department has sub-speciality centres for the treatment of enteritis, cholecystitis, pancreatic disorders, hepatitis therapy, liver cancer treatment and endoscopic procedures.

In treating liver cancer, doctors at Chung-Ang University Hospital use arterial chemoembolisation, which involves injecting chemotherapy drugs directly into an artery through a catheter. This method requires 5-7 days of hospitalisation for the patient. Hepatitis C is treated at the clinic with genetic tests and individualised therapy with interferon.
