TREATMENT OF CANCER IN FOREIGN CLINICS
Special attention is paid to the treatment of cancer abroad. This is
understandable, because more than
8 million people die from cancer each year, currently it is the second leading cause of death in the world. For most clinics, oncology is the main challenge that many today are accepting with dignity. Foreign clinics not only take advantage of the achievements in modern medicine, but also actively work on research to improve the existing methods of treatment and the
creation of innovations. Today,
international protocols for effective treatment of all cancer diseases have been developed, equipment that is unique in its effectiveness is available, and
preparations that are gentle to the body have been processed.
ROLE OF DIAGNOSTICS IN THE TREATMENT OF CANCER ABROAD
One of the most important stages in the treatment of cancer abroad is considered to be the
stage of diagnosis. It depends on the correct diagnosis, determination of the type of tumor, its size and localization, which treatment tactics will be used, and how effective it will be.
Inaccurate diagnostics is the major problem in third world countries. Opposite to those, the best clinics abroad practically do not make such mistakes. According to medical tourism experts,
every third patient from the CIS countries comes abroad with an incorrect or inaccurate diagnosis, which is refuted by foreign doctors. The problem is complex: the lack of good equipment, technology, doubtful competence of specialists due to the lack of qualified personnel and much more.
To diagnose cancer abroad, advanced technologies and equipment are available, making it possible to detect cancer at the earliest stages and to be confident in the accuracy of the diagnosis.
Among
modern diagnostic devices, it is worth highlighting the high-resolution
MRI device 3 Tesla,
64-sectional CT device and 3D CT,
ultrasound 4D, installation for accurate diagnosis of cancer at the earliest stages
PET-CT,
FUSION biopsy, endoscopic biopsy and much more.
In addition, today the world knows such technology as the analysis of
circulating tumor cells in the blood - CTC. Having only a blood sample, specialists are able to determine cancerous process even at the so-called
“zero stage”. For this, the patient does not even need to come to the clinic, a blood sample can be transferred to a special delivery service. Initially, this technology was available mainly in American medical centers and, accordingly, had a high cost. However, today the analysis of CTC is available in some clinics in
Turkey for an absolutely affordable price.
The undoubted advantage of the treatment of oncology abroad is the speed of the examination: patient undergo through all the diagnostics in about 24 hours and after few days receives the treatment program developed on the basis of the results of the examinations.

FEATURES OF CANCER TREATMENT ABROAD
In treating cancer abroad, they use methods that literally 10 years ago seemed fantastic. This is stem cell therapy, use of
targeted drugs (biological and immunological),
brachytherapy,
tomotherapy and much more. For many years chemotherapy, radiation therapy, cancer surgery is used in the treatment of cancer. However, today these methods are fundamentally different from what was before, or that is still used in less developed countries.
The
chemotherapy protocols became more gentle, as were the drugs themselves. New radiotherapy and radiosurgery units have appeared, which require less sessions of radiation, have maximum accuracy and are safe for healthy tissues. We are talking about such installations as
Novalis, Trumpet, Gamma-Knife, Cyber-Knife, Nano-Knife, Electa, etc.
Surgical intervention methods have also changed. In the treatment of cancer abroad, mostly minimally invasive intervention technologies are used, and where possible, organ-preserving operations are preferred. Robotic technologies are also increasingly used in surgery. The removal of tumors with the help of the
Da Vinci Robot in the leading clinics of the world has been carried out for more than 10 years. The scope of the Robot application is also expanding: today it is not only surgery for prostate cancer, but also operations in the field of gynecology, otolaryngology, cardiac surgery and general surgery.
