Treatment and diagnostics oncological diagnostics in Cheju, South Korea

Any disease is easier to prevent than to treat, and if it must be treated, then it is better to do so at an early stage. This statement is especially true for oncological diseases, treatment of which at late stages may be difficult, lengthy, and expensive.

That is why oncological diagnostics are so popular and are offered by many hospitals in Cheju. The examination program necessarily includes:

• blood tests — clinical and biochemical,
• urine analysis,
• tumor marker tests,
• ultrasound of the abdominal and pelvic organs,
• chest X-ray,
• for women — mammography,
• for men — examination of the prostate gland.

More extensive and costly programs include additional methods of examination, MRI, and PET-CT. They are not prescribed to everyone because of the high cost, but if the patient wants complete information about their health, they may sign up for such a procedure.

A major advantage of oncological diagnostics in Cheju is that the examination programs were designed by doctors with the patient’s age and sex in mind.
