Speciality
Performed by Dr. Kimmie Ng
Cancer Treatment
Cancer treatment abroad gives patients an access to world-class oncology centers offering chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, and surgical oncology. Multidisciplinary tumor boards of oncologists, surgeons, and radiologists collaborate to design personalized treatment plans. Oncology care costs can be financially devastating in many countries. Advanced cancer treatments that cost $80,000 to $200,000 at home may be available for $15,000 to $50,000 abroad at JCI-accredited hospitals with equally qualified oncologists and the latest treatment technologies. International cancer centers provide comprehensive care including PET-CT imaging, genomic tumor profiling, and access to clinical trials not available locally. Dedicated oncology case managers guide patients through every step of their treatment journey. The oncologist's experience and the hospital's technology are the most important factors to consider to ensure authenticity. Always confirm your treating team includes board-certified oncologists and that the facility is accredited by a recognized international body. Adherence to your full treatment protocol, nutritional support, and psychological well-being during treatment all significantly influence outcomes.
