Hospital Picaso Cancer Centre Offers Seamless, Personalised Cancer Care in Malaysia

2025-04-25

Cancer patients in Malaysia now have access to more seamless and personalized treatment journey. The newly launched Hospital Picaso Cancer Centre in Petaling Jaya offers comprehensive cancer care under one roof, combining early detection, diagnostics, treatment, and recovery in a single purpose-built facility.

This marks a significant shift in how cancer is managed including reducing delays, improving communication among specialists, and ensuring every patient receives care tailored to their specific needs. It’s more than a new building, it’s a new approach to healing.

Why Integrated Cancer Care Matters

Traditionally, patients have had to coordinate between various hospitals, clinics, and specialist during their cancer journey. This often leads to confusion, delays, and emotional stress. Hospital Picaso’s all-in-one cancer centre changes that by bringing together oncologists, radiologists, surgeons, and support teams into one collaborative space.

The result? Faster decision-making, more informed treatment plans, and better patient outcomes. According to Dr Mastura Md Yusof, Consultant Clinical Oncologist at Hospital Picaso, this integration leads to “a whole approach” that puts the patient at the heart of every decision.

Responding to a National Health Crisis

The need for better cancer care in Malaysia is urgent. Cancer remains the third leading cause of death, and nearly 65% of cases are detected at late stages (Stage 3 or 4). With the lifetime risk of cancer at 1 in 8 Malaysians, earlier detection and faster treatment pathways are crucial.

This is where Hospital Picaso Cancer Centre steps in with precision diagnostics, advanced treatment technologies, and a compassionate, team-based approach that supports patients from diagnosis to recovery. It’s a timely and essential response to Malaysia’s growing healthcare needs.

Advanced Technology, Personalised Treatment

At the core of Cancer Centre is a wide range of modern oncology services including:

Early screenings and diagnostic imaging
Systemic therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy
Advanced radiotherapy, tailored to individual patient needs

Supporting these services is a dedicated Radiology and Nuclear Medicine Department, crucial for early detection, precise treatment planning, and real-time adjustments. Dr Basri Johan Jeet Abdullah, Consultant Radiologist, highlights the importance of imaging biomarkers and interventional procedures in helping doctors make more accurate and timely decisions for each patient.

Transforming Cancer Treatment in Malaysia

Hospital Picaso is setting a new benchmark for cancer care in Malaysia. By combining advanced medical technologies with compassionate, patient-centred care, the Cancer Centre provides a powerful model for how the country can improve survival rates and enhance quality of life for cancer patients.

Whether it’s through early screening, multidisciplinary care, or continuous monitoring, the centre delivers a healthcare experience that’s not only effective but also empowering for patients and families alike.
