GENERAL TRIAS, Cavite — In a milestone for healthcare in the province, Divine Grace Medical Center (DGMC) has officially inaugurated the first specialized Cancer Center in General Trias. The facility, which opened on Monday, April 27, 2026, is designed to provide comprehensive oncology services, sparing residents the need for long-distance travel to Metro Manila for life-saving treatments.
The DGMC Cancer Center is anchored by modern radiation therapy and supportive care systems:
- Radiation Therapy: The facility is equipped with the Varian VitalBeam system, which supports high-precision techniques including 3D-Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT).
- Core Medical Services: The center offers medical oncology consultations, chemotherapy and infusion services, and specialized cancer screening and early detection programs.
- Holistic Support: Beyond clinical treatments, the center provides nutritional counseling, psychological support, and patient education to ensure a coordinated, patient-centered approach.
“For many families, cancer treatment often meant traveling far from home,” said Dr. Leonard Lao, President of Divine Grace Medical Center. “With this new Cancer Center, patients can now access quality care closer to their community, with the support of their loved ones.”
The center aims to serve as a regional hub for Cavite and nearby communities, focusing on early detection as a primary strategy to improve long-term patient outcomes.
For residents seeking more information or wishing to schedule a consultation, the DGMC Cancer Care Center can be reached through the following channels:

The opening of this facility is expected to significantly ease the burden on both patients and the overextended oncology departments of major hospitals in the capital, providing a more localized and accessible alternative for the South Luzon region.
