The official National Cancer Center of China, operated by the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. One of the highest-volume, most comprehensively resourced oncology hospitals in the country — treating every cancer type, running hundreds of clinical trials, and setting the national protocols that other hospitals follow. Whether this is genuinely the right fit for your case depends on your diagnosis and situation; China Care helps you work that out and coordinates access via the VIP Oncology Service where it is.
The Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (中国医学科学院肿瘤医院) is China's officially designated National Cancer Center. Established in 1958, it has grown into the country's largest specialist oncology institution — setting the clinical guidelines and treatment protocols that are adopted by hospitals across China. The physicians who practice here are the same specialists who define what the standard of care is for each cancer type.
The hospital treats every major cancer type: solid tumours, haematological malignancies, rare cancers, and paediatric oncology. Surgical, radiation, medical, and interventional capabilities all operate within a single integrated institution. Its radiotherapy programme is one of China's most technically advanced, running IMRT, SBRT, and proton-enhanced protocols. For patients seeking cancer treatment in China with access to the most current evidence-based regimens, CAMS Cancer Hospital represents the highest tier of capability.
International patients access the hospital through the VIP/International Oncology Service, which provides coordinated specialist consultations outside the general public queue. The clinical trials programme encompasses over 300 active studies covering novel immunotherapy agents, targeted therapies, and combination regimens not yet part of standard care.
CAMS Cancer Hospital writes the national oncology treatment guidelines adopted across China. Its physicians are the same specialists who define what the standard of care is for each cancer type. For patients seeking treatment at or ahead of the current standard, this is where that standard is created.
The hospital operates one of China's largest clinical trial portfolios covering novel immunotherapy agents, next-generation targeted therapies, and combination regimens. International patients may qualify for trials involving treatments that are years from regulatory approval in their home countries.
Unlike specialist hospitals focused on one or two cancer types, CAMS Cancer Hospital covers the full oncology spectrum within a single institution with integrated multidisciplinary teams. A patient with multiple concurrent malignancies, or an unusual cancer type, does not need to be referred elsewhere.
Finding a hospital's name is easy. Knowing whether it's actually the right one for your situation is much harder — that's where China Care helps.

Send your full pathology reports (including biopsy results and molecular profiling if available), staging investigations, imaging, and prior treatment history. For haematological cancers, include bone marrow biopsy results and flow cytometry reports. We review your records and prepare a bilingual case summary within 1–2 working days.
full pathology & staging · 1–2 daysIf it makes sense to go further, Case Investigation looks into whether this hospital is genuinely a suitable option for your case — before you commit to travelling. This includes a proxy consultation: China Care attends CAMS Cancer Hospital in person and consults directly with the relevant oncology specialist on your behalf. The doctor reviews your case summary, indicates the most appropriate department and initial direction, and flags relevant active clinical trials. China Care reports the outcome back to you with voice call interpretation in real time.
This is a paid service, charged at a fixed fee that covers hospital registration, the in-person proxy consultation, and real-time voice interpretation, agreed with you upfront. Already in China? Skip this step — China Care can arrange direct escort and interpretation for your own visit instead.

The specialist reviews your case in person, confirms the treatment plan, and provides a formal cost estimate — this step cannot be completed remotely at a public hospital. Complex cases or those being considered for clinical trial enrolment may receive a multidisciplinary team review. China Care's bilingual coordinator accompanies you throughout.

China Care's coordinator remains on hand throughout your stay. Ward nursing staff and hospital administration operate primarily in Mandarin, so on-site escort is strongly recommended for non-Chinese speakers.
All treatment fees are paid directly to the hospital in Chinese yuan (RMB). CAMS Cancer Hospital does not accept international credit cards for inpatient treatment. A deposit is required at admission; the balance is settled before discharge. China Care does not collect or handle medical payments.
