- Made the Oncology Department at Vinmec Times City (VMTC) the first private medical facility in Vietnam to implement hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and high-dose chemotherapy since 2015.
- Led VMTC to become the first facility in Vietnam to apply autologous immune cell therapy to support cancer treatment (under the leadership of Prof. Nguyễn Thanh Liêm) since 2017.
- Established the VMTC Radiotherapy Center as the first private medical institution in Vietnam (since 2015) and the first radiotherapy center nationwide to routinely implement advanced radiotherapy techniques such as VMAT, SBRT, and IGRT. Currently, after 10 years of operation, over 95% of patients treated at the Center receive high-precision radiotherapy using linear accelerators (VMAT, 4D-VMAT, SBRT, IGRT, etc.).
- Treated more than 1,700 cancer patients with over 30,000 radiotherapy sessions at VMTC, achieving highly positive outcomes:
• 100% local control rate (no recurrence) for breast cancer radiotherapy after 5 years.
• 83.5% 10-year disease-free survival rate for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (comparable to U.S. and Japanese clinical trials).
• Over 55% complete pain relief rate for bone metastasis radiotherapy.
• 70% complete response rate in preoperative radiotherapy for esophageal cancer. - Published 40 scientific papers and clinical research works on cancer treatment in journals such as Vietnamese Journal of Practical Medicine, Vietnam Medical Journal, Ho Chi Minh City Journal of Medicine, Annals of Oncology (journal of the European Society for Medical Oncology), and in the proceedings of major conferences including the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) and the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO).
