Oncology

"Why leukemia? Why my family? What should I do now?" When patients first hear a terrible diagnosis from a doctor, the disease seems like a verdict. After all, they thought that the child had contracted acute respiratory infections, had a fever, and was tired. Then the blood counts went up, and the pediatricians confidently diagnosed anemia. Or an adult treated for arthritis. Leukemia is a master of disguise.

Chemotherapy is one of the main stages of cancer treatment. Its purpose is to destroy malignant tumors with the help of special cytostatic preparations. Once in the blood, they block cancer cells.

Peptic ulcer is a chronic pathological process of damage to the stomach or duodenum with the formation of ulcerative defects on the mucous membrane of these organs. According to some data, the risk of developing pathology exists in 11-14% of men and in 8-11% of women.

Most often, the development of the disease is provoked by the bacterium Helicobacter pylori.

Lung cancer occupies a leading position among all oncological diseases in terms of mortality. Oncologists call difficulties in making a diagnosis in the early stages one of the reasons for the frequent death of patients – the pathological process developing in the lungs does not have specific symptoms by which it can be differentiated from other respiratory diseases.

At the initial stage of its development, the tumor is small in size and cannot always be detected even by instrumental methods. However, there are still signs that are highly likely to cause lung cancer.

The diagnosis of cancer hides a whole group of pathologies that share a common feature: the abnormal structure of cells and their uncontrolled reproduction. According to the prevalence in Russia, malignant formations occupy the 3rd place among socially significant diseases. Over the past decade, the incidence rate in the country has increased by 20.4% per 100,000 population. Therefore, the fight against cancer is one of the top priorities of medicine today.

More than 500,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed annually in Russia alone. The situation in other CIS countries is no better. And many of our compatriots have every reason to seek medical treatment abroad.

And the question immediately arises: which country should I choose, where cancer is treated most effectively? Most of us will immediately name Israel, Germany, USA. According to the world ranking, it is here that the highest cure rate is recorded. However, there are many other countries where the fight against cancer is no less successful.
