Hospital Picaso – located Petaling Jaya, is redefining breast cancer care in Malaysia, emerging as a one-stop destination that offers a full spectrum of support for breast cancer patients. From cutting-edge treatments to ongoing support services, Hospital Picaso combines expertise, technology, and a holistic approach to provide patients with everything they need under one roof.
Expertise at the Core
At the heart of Hospital Picaso’s breast cancer program is Prof. Emeritus Dato’ Dr. Yip Cheng Har, a distinguished breast surgeon with an impressive history in breast cancer research and treatment. With extensive experience both locally and internationally, Dr. Yip has a reputation for excellence in breast cancer surgery and oncology. Her role at Hospital Picaso highlights the hospital’s commitment to a high standard of care, as she guides both treatment and patient education initiatives.
“Our goal is not just to treat the disease but to support patients at every stage, from diagnosis to recovery,” Dr. Yip explains. “Providing a space where patients feel confident in the quality of care they’re receiving can make a real difference in their experience and outcomes.” She believes that equipping patients with accurate, accessible information is key: “When patients are empowered with reliable information, they can make decisions that suit their needs, ultimately leading to better results.”
Innovation & Precision with Clarum
A significant development at Hospital Picaso is its recent collaboration with Roche to introduce Clarum, Malaysia’s first digital breast cancer registry. This groundbreaking tool will provide real-time data, enabling personalised, precision-based treatment plans that are tailored to each patient’s unique needs. By analysing data from previous cases, Clarum will allow oncologists at Hospital Picaso to stay at the forefront of personalised cancer care. This collaboration reflects Hospital Picaso’s commitment to not only treat but also deeply understand the progression and nuances of breast cancer within Malaysian communities, with the ultimate goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for patients.
Advanced Facilities for Modern Treatment
Hospital Picaso is equipped with some of the most advanced medical technologies, including the da Vinci Xi Surgical System, which supports minimally invasive, precise surgeries. This technology enables surgeons to operate with greater control and visibility, benefiting patients by reducing recovery time and minimising scars. Hospital Picaso’s investment in such advanced facilities reflects its commitment to providing patients with the best possible options for treatment and recovery.
As the hospital continues to grow and innovate, it aims to remain a place of hope and healing for breast cancer patients and their families, creating a positive impact that extends far beyond its doors.
