NCT ID NCT07600294
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a specialized cancer care center could be set up in a local community clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, instead of a large hospital. Researchers included 358 patients, family members, and healthcare workers to see if the model improved access and satisfaction. The goal was to find a way to reduce the burden on major hospitals and make cancer care more affordable and trusted.
