Integrated Cancer Services in Thailand: A Prototype for Excellence (CEICS)

14 maja 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Saengrawee Thanthong, Chulabhorn Cancer Center

Development and Implementation of a Prototype Centre of Excellence in Integrated Cancer Services in Thailand: A Feasibility Study

Cancer is a significant health crisis globally and specifically within Thailand, where it affects more than 122,000 individuals every year and leads to approximately 86,000 deaths. Beyond the physical and emotional toll on patients, the disease creates immense social and economic challenges.

In Thailand, cancer treatment costs exceed 26 billion baht (about $800 million USD) annually. Families often face out-of-pocket costs for cancer care that exceed 30% to 40% of their total household income. Furthermore, the aging of Thai society and lifestyle changes-such as "Westernized" diets and sedentary behavior-are expected to drive these numbers even higher. This situation has created an urgent need for new healthcare models that reduce the burden on major hospitals and make care more accessible to the public. The Project Goal: A new model of care to address these challenges: Researchers developed a prototype Center of Excellence in Integrated Cancer Services. The goal was to test whether a specialized cancer unit could be successfully integrated into a local community clinic rather than functioning as a large, separate hospital.

The study used Donabedian's model to evaluate quality, focusing on three specific areas: Structure: The physical setting, equipment, and staff. Process: How the services are actually delivered and Outcomes: The results of the care and the satisfaction of those involved. Phase of Development and Implementation The project was a three-year initiative funded by the National Science, Research, and Innovation Fund of Thailand. Phase 1: Focused on the conceptual design of the center. Phase 2: Involved detailed planning and the development of digital information systems. This is at Phase 3: Focused on the actual implementation and testing of the prototype center in Bangkok

Szczegółowy opis

Services Provided to the Community The center followed Thailand's national "7-branch" Cancer Service Plan, focusing specifically on the first two foundational branches for this pilot phase :Cancer Prevention and Risk Reduction: Counseling on healthy lifestyle modifications. Programs to reduce tobacco and alcohol use. Education regarding the HPV vaccine. General health literacy promotion to help people understand their risks. Cancer Screening and Early Detection: Clinical breast exams to check for abnormalities. Cervical cancer screening. Colorectal cancer screening. Risk assessments and established protocols to refer patients to major hospitals if abnormalities were found.

The other five branches-diagnosis, treatment, palliative care, informatics, and research-were supported through integrated referral pathways rather than being performed directly at the community unit.

Digital Innovation and Technology: A key feature of the center was the use of health information technology to bridge the gap between patients and providers. These tools included: Mobile Health Applications: Used for tracking symptoms and providing educational outreach. Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Facilitated real-time data sharing among the care team.

Virtual Consultations: Allowed for remote support and counseling. Artificial Intelligence (AI): The center planned for future integration of AI to assist in more accurate and efficient cancer screening

Eksperymentalny: Prototype Centre of Excellence in Integrated Cancer Services

The intervention, as a pilot unit, was established within the Warm Community Nurse Clinic to deliver community-based cancer prevention and screening services

. It highlights the model's core purpose as an integrated healthcare hub designed to test the feasibility of scaling such centres nationwide in Thailand

The intervention in this study is the development and implementation of a prototype Centre of Excellence (COE) in Integrated Cancer Services in Bangkok, Thailand. This model is fundamentally distinguished by its integration into a local community setting-specifically established within the Warm Community Nurse Clinic-rather than functioning as a standalone, large-scale hospital. By leveraging the community's existing familiarity with the clinic, the intervention aims to improve accessibility and trust while reducing the financial and logistical burdens typically associated with seeking cancer care at major medical centers.
