Khamphanh, Laos

【Patient profile】  Khamphanh, 59 years old, employee of a government department in Vientiane, Laos

【Predicaments before coming to China】

The patient was diagnosed with gastric antral adenocarcinoma (cT3N1M0) via gastroscopy. Local hospitals in Vientiane can only perform traditional open distal gastrectomy, which is more invasive and has a longer recovery period. Laparoscopic surgery at private medical institutions in Thailand is generally more expensive, exceeding the patient's family's budget.
