INPATIENT TREATMENT

Treatment in China

When consultations are no longer enough and you need the treatment itself, we take on the whole path: case assessment, treatment plan, hospitalization, procedures and follow-up after discharge.

TREATMENT PATH

Four stages from diagnosis to follow-up

From a confirmed diagnosis to post-discharge follow-up, each stage has clear deliverables

  1. 01

    Diagnostics and assessment

    A full workup: PET-CT, laboratory and molecular diagnostics, and — when needed — a biopsy with slide review.

  2. 02

    Treatment plan

    A multidisciplinary board decides the method, sequence and scope of treatment based on the stage and the patient’s overall condition.

  3. 03

    Treatment

    Radiosurgery, radiotherapy, surgery, drug and immunotherapy — all within a single program.

  4. 04

    Rehabilitation and follow-up

    Follow-up exams after discharge, results reviewed at the MDT, and reports sent to your treating physician at home.

TREATMENT METHODS

What our centers treat with

Six treatment areas — the exact combination is set by the board; device models and specs are on the technology page

Radiosurgery

Stereotactic irradiation delivered over a few sessions: no incision, no anesthesia, no pain — used where surgery is risky or impossible.

Radiotherapy

Conformal and modulated irradiation with image guidance. One of the three main cancer treatments: around 70% of patients need it.

Surgery

An operation when it offers an advantage over irradiation. The decision belongs to the board, not to an individual surgeon.

Drug therapy

Chemotherapy, targeted and immunotherapy — on their own or combined with irradiation, depending on the stage and molecular profile of the tumor.

Cell therapy

Cellular and immunotherapy — an area run by the group’s dedicated specialists. Indications, timing and combination with irradiation are set by the board.

Interventions and TCM

Minimally invasive interventions and external traditional Chinese medicine techniques — to control symptoms and treatment complications.

SAFETY

Before the machine is switched on

Four checks stand between the plan and the first beam

Plan approval by the board

Treatment does not start until the board has approved the volume, the regimen and the sequence of procedures.

Weekly plan review

Clinical teams at all centers review plans every week: target contouring, regimen, fields, dose distribution and dose limits for neighboring organs.

Independent double check

The dose calculation is checked again — including remotely, through the group’s unified cloud planning system.

Check before every session

Patient positioning and the target are confirmed by imaging before every session — not only once at the planning stage.

BEFORE YOU TRAVEL

What people ask most before the trip

The six questions patients ask most about treatment in China

Where do we start if we have decided to be treated in China?

With sending us your medical documents. We use them for a preliminary assessment and tell you whether the trip makes sense, which exams you still need, and how long treatment will take. This stage is free of charge.

Is surgery always necessary?

No. A large share of cases are handled by radiosurgery and radiotherapy — no incision, no anesthesia, no blood. The decision belongs to the board: if surgery offers no advantage, we will tell you straight.

How long do we need to stay in China?

It depends on the method. A CyberKnife course usually takes 3 to 5 sessions — about one to two weeks including preparation and the follow-up exam. For other schedules the timeline is discussed case by case.

Does a companion need to come?

Not necessarily. The patient stays under the medical team’s care around the clock. If a relative does come, we will help arrange accommodation near the ward.

How will we understand the doctors?

A Russian-speaking coordinator works with you: they attend the appointments, translate the reports and stay in touch throughout your stay.

How much does it cost?

The cost of treatment is calculated individually — it depends on the method, the number of sessions and the length of stay. After assessing your documents you receive a preliminary estimate, which is confirmed before treatment begins.
