About Beijing Arion Cancer Hospital

A tertiary cancer specialty hospital partnered with UPMC — bringing real-time full-term MDT cancer care, AI-powered screening, and internationally standardized oncology services to patients in Beijing, China.

Hospital Overview

Beijing Arion Cancer Hospital (北京美中爱瑞肿瘤医院) is a tertiary cancer specialty hospital established in January 2021, located in Beijing's Daxing District. Spanning approximately 24,000 square meters with 400 inpatient beds — including 60 day-chemotherapy chairs and 24 ICU/ER beds — Arion is purpose-built for comprehensive cancer care.

As a strategic partner of UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), Arion brings American cancer care standards to China. Our core philosophy is the real-time full-term MDT (multidisciplinary team) model: every patient receives a dedicated MDT core team from day one, with a personal Case Manager guiding the entire treatment journey.

Our seven specialized cancer centers, advanced diagnostic equipment, and a medical team drawn from China's top public hospitals — combined with our UPMC partnership — make Arion a leading destination for international patients seeking world-class oncology care in China.

Our Vision & Mission

Guided by a commitment to internationally standardized cancer care and compassionate, patient-centered treatment.

🎯

Our Vision

To become China's leading private cancer hospital where international-standard MDT meets compassionate care — a place where every patient, regardless of nationality or background, can access world-class oncology services without leaving Asia.

We envision a future where cancer care is not fragmented across departments but integrated around the patient, where American clinical excellence and Chinese medical expertise work hand in hand, and where every treatment journey is guided by a dedicated team that knows you by name.

⚕️

Our Mission

To provide UPMC-caliber oncology care in China, ensuring every patient receives coordinated, full-cycle MDT treatment — from early screening and precise diagnosis through personalized therapy and long-term follow-up.

We are committed to breaking down the silos of traditional medicine by placing a real-time multidisciplinary team at the center of every patient's care, supported by a personal Case Manager who ensures that no detail is overlooked and no patient ever feels alone.

The Arion MDT Difference

The MDT tumor treatment model is the core philosophy of Arion Cancer Hospital. We've built a standardized, comprehensive MDT system that follows international guidelines — fundamentally different from the traditional fragmented approach.

Traditional Cancer Care

  • Patient sees individual specialists sequentially
  • Treatment decisions made in isolation by each department
  • No coordinated care plan across disciplines
  • Patient navigates the hospital system alone
  • Follow-up is inconsistent and fragmented
  • Treatment adjustments are reactive, not proactive
  • Communication gaps between oncology disciplines

Arion Real-Time Full-Term MDT

  • Dedicated MDT core team assigned from first visit
  • Multi-disciplinary consensus on every treatment decision
  • Coordinated plan across surgery, medical oncology, radiation
  • Personal Case Manager guides every step
  • Continuous follow-up throughout the entire treatment journey
  • Real-time treatment plan adjustments as condition evolves
  • Complex Case Committee for difficult or rare diagnoses
🤝

Core MDT Team

Every patient is assigned a core MDT team — typically including a medical oncologist, surgical oncologist, and senior nurse — who remain responsible for the patient's care from admission through long-term follow-up.

📱

Personal Case Manager

A dedicated Case Manager (CM) accompanies each patient through every visit, facilitates communication with doctors, organizes clinical records, and tracks treatment plan implementation in real time.

🌐

Complex Case Committee

For difficult and controversial cases, our Special Committee brings together top oncologists from China and the US — including UPMC specialists — for joint consultation and expert consensus.

UPMC Partnership

Bringing American cancer care standards to China through a deep strategic partnership with one of America's leading academic medical centers.

🩶

UPMC Strategic Partner

"Our mission is to ensure every cancer patient receives internationally standardized MDT care — where UPMC's oncology excellence meets Chinese medical expertise, close to home."

  • Remote Consultations: Arion patients can access second opinions and multidisciplinary consultations with UPMC cancer specialists for complex cases.
  • Medical Transfer to the US: When appropriate, patients can be transferred to UPMC facilities in the United States for specialized treatment.
  • Technology & Research: Collaboration in medical technology transfer, clinical research, and alignment of clinical protocols and quality standards.
