Oncology (cancer) is recognized as one of six core competencies at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital (FEMH). In October 2014, FEMH established the first Cancer Center in New Taipei City. We take a multidisciplinary approach to cancer diagnosis and treatment. Leading by Hematology and Oncology, a team of Surgical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Medical Imaging, Nuclear Medicine, and Oncology Nursing collaboratively delivers cancer care to our patients.
