TNH VIET YEN HOSPITAL, IN COLLABORATION WITH CENTRAL-LEVEL SPECIALISTS, SUCCESSFULLY TREATS COLORECTAL CANCER IN A YOUNG PATIENT

A 25-year-old female patient from Đắk Lắk, currently working as a factory worker in an industrial park in Bắc Ninh, was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal pain — a common symptom that is often overlooked in young people. However, at TNH Viet Yen Hospital, after undergoing abdominal CT scanning, colonoscopy, and lesion biopsy, the pathological results were reviewed.

Following a multidisciplinary consultation, the medical team concluded that the patient was suffering from colon cancer at the hepatic flexure — a malignant condition located in a challenging anatomical position, requiring surgical treatment in strict accordance with oncological principles.

Dr. Hoang Manh Thang, MD, PhD — Head of the Department of General Oncology Surgery, Oncology Center of Hanoi Medical University Hospital, and Deputy Head of Department at Quan Su Campus 1, K Central Hospital — a leading central-level oncology expert, directly participated in the case. His involvement helped optimize the treatment strategy, ensuring a radical, safe, and most appropriate surgical approach for the patient.

The team of specialists and surgeons performed a right hemicolectomy with extensive lymph node dissection, followed by immediate primary bowel anastomosis to restore gastrointestinal continuity. The entire surgical process strictly adhered to colorectal cancer treatment standards, ensuring complete removal of the tumor along with the associated vascular and lymphatic systems. Adequate safety margins between the resection edges and the lesion were also ensured to minimize the risk of recurrence.

Thanks to thorough preparation and close multidisciplinary coordination, the surgery was performed smoothly, safely, and in accordance with modern oncological standards. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well, remained stable, and was discharged from the hospital. She will continue treatment according to the standard protocol and is expected to soon return to her normal daily life and work.

This complex case not only affirms the surgical expertise of TNH Viet Yen Hospital but also highlights the clear effectiveness of professional collaboration with leading central-level specialists. Patients in Bắc Ninh can confidently choose to receive diagnosis and treatment for complex diseases locally, without long waiting times to access doctors, equipment, and treatment protocols at top-tier hospitals. This approach helps reduce the burden on central hospitals while saving patients significant time and treatment costs.

Dr. Bui Thanh Thien, MD (Specialist Level I) — Head of the Department of General Surgery at TNH Viet Yen Hospital — warns about the growing trend of colorectal cancer affecting younger individuals.

“Regardless of age, anyone experiencing seemingly simple symptoms such as persistent abdominal pain, digestive disorders, anemia, or unexplained weight loss should not be complacent. Patients should promptly visit medical facilities with sufficient professional capacity to accurately identify the cause and receive appropriate treatment guidance from specialists.”

TNH Viet Yen Hospital is a trusted destination for patients because of:

• Strong diagnostic, treatment, and surgical capabilities in gastrointestinal diseases and gastrointestinal cancers.
• In-depth professional collaboration between local hospitals and central-level oncology centers and leading experts.

As a result, patients have more opportunities to access high-quality medical care locally — early, safe, and effective.
