The cancer unit at Mittaphab Hospital in Vientiane, giving chemotherapy, palliative care and, since 2017, radiotherapy. It keeps a hospital cancer registry going back to 2010.
UICC's member page for the National Cancer Center Laos (an Associate Member) says the Laos Oncology Unit is part of Mittaphab Central Hospital in Vientiane Capital, with limited facilities and staff, providing chemotherapy and palliative care, with radiotherapy since 2017. IAEA DIRAC lists the Mittaphab Central Cancer Hospital on Phontong-Dongdok road with one linear accelerator and no brachytherapy unit (entry updated 2022). A 2026 analysis of its hospital-based registry (BMC Public Health) counted 1,738 cancers recorded from 2010 to 2024: liver and bile duct cancer was the commonest in men (15.1%) and cervical cancer in women (41.1%); cases were concentrated around Vientiane, and the authors note that Laos has no national population-based registry. The coordinates are an approximate Vientiane city point, as DIRAC's point falls outside the city.
