Clinical departments and specialist care

03 · Treatment & technology

Procedure-level evidence matters

The Radiation Oncology department explicitly lists SBRT, IGRT, IMRT, VMAT, tomotherapy and HDR brachytherapy. The Endoscopy department separately describes tumor endoscopy and endoscopic ultrasonography. These are department-level capabilities; availability and eligibility require assessment. Planned heavy-ion equipment on the overview is not listed as a current service.

06 · First visit

Arriving for your appointment

The general outpatient guide asks patients to check in within 30 minutes before the reserved slot. Bring identity documents, referral and prior imaging/pathology and ask whether originals, translated records or a Chinese mobile number are needed. Confirm your appointment building first.

07 · Emergency

Emergency care and its limits

The reviewed International Medical Center information gives outpatient and inpatient contacts but no verified 24-hour international emergency service, entrance or telephone. Do not treat outpatient contacts as emergency hotlines. In China dial 120 for urgent assistance.

Check before arrival: A 24-hour international emergency entrance or dedicated hotline was not established in reviewed official materials. The listed international numbers are outpatient and inpatient contacts; call 120 for an emergency.
