Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital's Bilingual Website Officially Launched

Since its official debut on February 25, the bilingual website of Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital (https://en.wwzlz.cn) has been operating smoothly for two months, emerging as a pivotal platform for cancer patients along the Belt and Road Initiative to learn about China’s heavy ion radiotherapy technology. Anchored in the strategic framework of "dual-website synergy, dual-hospital coordination, and dual-cycle resonance," the hospital pioneers a new paradigm for globalizing China’s indigenous high-end medical equipment within international healthcare collaboration.

The bilingual platform integrates "intelligent service chains with culturally contextualized experiences," featuring modules such as hospital profiles, medical teams, treatment guides, case studies, preventive screening, news updates, and public welfare initiatives. It provides patients with a seamless, end-to-end digital service loop—from medical record submission to bed reservation.

By positioning itself as "Chinese-language services for local needs and English-language connectivity for global outreach," the hospital optimizes medical resource accessibility while establishing a novel narrative framework that merges cutting-edge technology with Silk Road cultural heritage. The website highlights the technical strengths of heavy ion therapy—high precision, potent cytotoxicity, and broad applicability—showcasing its proprietary "millimeter-accurate heavy ion radiotherapy combined with TCM" system. This approach covers over 50 solid tumor types, doubling the median survival time for high-grade glioma patients compared to conventional photon radiotherapy, marking a breakthrough in "Chinese precision" clinical practice.

Through the integration of "TCM holistic diagnostics and heavy ion targeted therapy," the hospital builds a comprehensive lifecycle management system for cancer patients. It also advances frontier technologies like respiratory-gated radiotherapy and stem cell therapy, establishing a full-spectrum heavy ion industry chain spanning equipment R&D to clinical application.

As the world’s only institution operating two domestically-developed heavy ion therapy systems, Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital leverages its bilingual platforms to transform its "heavy ion millimeter-precision radiotherapy plus TCM" protocol into a global lifeline for cancer patients. This initiative elevates global health collaboration to new heights where technology and humanity converge, enabling the world to decode Gansu’s civilization through cutting-edge medical innovation.

The website deeply embeds Wuwei’s regional cultural identity, transforming the Hexi Corridor’s Silk Road legacy into healing resources. "Pastoral therapy" capitalizes on the ecological landscapes of heavy ion wellness towns and idyllic farmlands, while "TCM wellness programs" blend Longnan herbal cuisine with traditional therapies. "Cultural therapy" employs VR meditation to immerse patients in the historical resonance of the Bronze Galloping Horse’s birthplace. The English section features an "Global Partnerships" hub, attracting nearly 20,000 visits globally, driving cross-border trade in Longnan herbal products and cultural merchandise. This positions Wuwei as a "Belt and Road" health and civilization hub, integrating medical innovation, cultural exchange, and industrial advancement to showcase China’s technological prowess and the unique enduring cultural magnetism of Silk Road culture.

As one of the 21st century’s most advanced cancer treatments, heavy ion radiotherapy excels in minimizing radiation damage to healthy tissues, shortening treatment durations, and achieving high tumor control rates. Since commencing operations in March 2020, Wuwei Heavy Ion Center has treated 1,936 cases from all 31 provincial-level regions (including Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan regions) and international cases in Australia, Belgium, South Korea, and Malaysia. Following the launch of Lanzhou Heavy Ion Center in November 2024, 139 patients have undergone combined photon and heavy ion therapy, underscoring China’s global leadership in high-end medical equipment.

From the northwestern Gobi to the global stage, Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital weaves a transnational health network along the Silk Road with heavy ion technology as its golden thread. Where the "Chinese precision" of heavy ion beams intersects with the "civilizational warmth" of the Silk Road, this medical innovation transcends mere technology transfer. Rooted in the principle of "putting life first," it redefines international healthcare collaboration by harmonizing scientific rigor with humanistic care—exemplified by heavy ion precision therapy and TCM healing, natural rehabilitation, and cultural empathy. Through this synergy, Wuwei emerges as a global med-cultural hub, where cutting-edge therapy becomes the lingua franca for cross-civilization dialogue.
