Prostate Cancer Treatment Without Surgery By MedPark Hospital

Prostate Cancer Treatment Without Surgery By MedPark Hospital

MedPark, our corporate member, highlights the benefits of high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy, an advanced, minimally invasive cancer treatment that precisely targets tumors while protecting healthy tissue, helping patients achieve effective cancer care with minimal discomfort, faster recovery, and preserved quality of life.

A cancer diagnosis often brings difficult choices—especially when treatment may affect quality of life. For Thomas L. Payne, a 75-year-old expatriate who has lived in Thailand for over two decades, that concern was deeply personal. After experiencing serious complications from a previous surgery, he was determined to find a safer, less invasive path forward.

At MedPark Hospital, he found it through high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy—an advanced, non-surgical treatment delivered by a highly specialised team led by Dr. Paibul Boonyapanichskul and Dr. Yongyut Kongthanarat. Using precise imaging and computer-guided planning, the therapy targets cancer directly while protecting surrounding healthy tissue.

“I felt nothing… there was no blood,” he recalled—capturing just how gentle the experience can be. With no incision, minimal discomfort, and no radioactive material left in the body, patients can return home quickly and resume normal activities—even the next day.

For Thomas, it wasn’t just about treating cancer—it was about trusting the right hands and moving forward with confidence.

For many patients, it’s no longer about choosing between curing the cancer and preserving quality of life—but finally having both.

Because the best treatment doesn’t just fight the disease—it lets you keep living your life, uninterrupted.
