Oncology

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.

Breast cancer is an oncological pathology in which the cells of an organ begin to divide uncontrollably and cease to function normally, leading to the formation of a malignant tumor. This is one of the most common oncological diseases – in terms of frequency (after lung cancer), it ranks second in the world. Every year, the number of oncologist patients increases by 1-2%.

Melanoma is an oncological disease that occurs in the pigment cells of the skin. The disease gradually grows vertically in the epidermis and is capable of forming metastases. The disease is difficult to treat, however, detecting it at an early stage significantly increases a person's chances of remission.

Partial removal of the uterus or partial hysterectomy is a process in which the body of the reproductive organ is completely removed. Doctors do not remove the cervix and ovaries during the procedure. The intervention is performed minimally invasively through small incisions in the skin or through the vagina.

Cervical cancer is a common oncological disease of the genital organs, accounting for 6% of all malignant tumors in women.

There are many methods of treating this malignant neoplasm, including chemotherapy.

Melanoma is a malignant tumor that occurs as a result of the degeneration and subsequent proliferation of cells of the epidermis. It affects the skin more often, however, in rare cases it occurs on mucous membranes. The tumor spreads in the cells of the epidermis, is capable of forming metastases and penetrating into internal organs. The classic methods of treating melanoma are surgery and chemotherapy. Their combination makes it possible to achieve stable remission.

Professional removal of melanoma includes comprehensive treatment consisting of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy. The selection of specific procedures and medications in modern clinics is based on the results of modern diagnostics, including full-body 3D screening.

Cervical cancer is one of the most recognizable during diagnosis, even at an early stage. The main types of screening for cervical cancer include:

• Pap test (Pap smear) - allows you to detect abnormal changes in cells on the cervix, which can later turn into a cancerous tumor if they are not treated properly.;
• The HPV (human papillomavirus) test allows you to find a virus that can cause adverse changes in cells.

Some people may develop melanoma from a mole. Moles are harmless small brown spots (pigmentation) or growths on the skin that appear in the first few decades of life in almost everyone. They can be either flat or raised, rounded or oval with symmetrical borders. Many of them are caused by sun exposure. Melanoma is one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer, most often manifests itself as an asymmetric, multicolored or brown-black spot or an outgrowth with uneven borders that increases over time.

Recurrent uterine cancer is a tumor that has returned after initial treatment. With standard approaches (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy) this condition is considered incurable. The prognosis for recurrent uterine cancer depends on the aggressiveness and area of spread of the recurrent tumor. If the neoplasm is located within the uterus, the five–year survival rate of patients averages 27-28%. In the case of metastasis, this indicator decreases to 15%.
