South Korea’s National Cancer Center (NCC) has completed a major renovation and is poised for a renewed focus on advanced cancer treatment and patient care, according to recent reports.
The NCC, located in Ilsandong-gu, Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, has invested 120 billion Korean won (approximately $92 million USD) in the modernization project, increasing its capacity to 599 beds. The upgraded facility will feature three robotic surgery suites and dedicated same-day surgery rooms, signaling a commitment to cutting-edge medical technology. This investment underscores the growing demand for specialized cancer care in the region and reflects a broader trend toward advanced treatment modalities.
The renovation similarly prioritizes a fully integrated nursing care model across all patient wards.

This move aims to enhance patient comfort and recovery while addressing the challenges of an aging population.
The NCC is also focusing on patient-centered care, particularly in response to the needs of a rapidly aging society, as noted by Daily Medical. The center aims to establish itself as a leading model for cancer treatment.
the NCC is expanding its research initiatives and international collaborations. The National Cancer Information Center, affiliated with the NCC, provides information and resources on cancer and can be found at cancer.go.kr.
