Treatment and diagnostics for abroad

Spinal cord cancer treatment abroad

Spinal cord cancer is a malignant formation of the spinal cord tissue or spine. Among the reasons for its appearance, scientists identify:

• ecology;
• immune system disorder;
• exposure to harmful substances;
• genetics.

When spinal cord cancer is detected in the early stages, the outcome of treatment is most often favorable.  But even in the later stages, getting rid of it is realistic, especially if spinal cord cancer treatment is carried out abroad.

 Countries

The most popular countries for the treatment of spinal cord tumors abroad are Israel, Germany, Korea, Turkey, China, India and the Republic of Singapore.

Spinal cord cancer treatment abroad is very productive. Foreign clinics use only the latest equipment for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. 

Methods of spinal cord cancer treatment abroad

The main advantage of spinal cord tumor treatment in foreign clinics is accurate diagnosis. In addition to such familiar examination methods as CT, MRI, X-ray, ultrasound, and various types of endoscopy, they are very successfully used abroad.:

• PET-CT positron emission tomography (PET), combined with computed tomography (CT).  CT gives a detailed picture of the area under study, and PET evaluates the presence of tumor growth in it using isotopes.;
• PET-MRI positron emission tomography (PET), combined with magnetic resonance imaging.

Spinal cord cancer treatment abroad is characterized by minimal injury and maximum effect.

In Korea and Singapore, for example, the treatment of these neoplasms takes place with an emphasis on a minimally invasive approach — surgery through point punctures of tissues or natural physiological openings.  Such procedures leave virtually no scars and allow the patient to recover faster. 

A special Da Vinci robot is also used for the same purpose. "Da Vinci" has 4 hands: he performs an operation with two of them under the guidance of an experienced surgeon, the other assists himself, and the fourth captures the entire process on camera.

Another method of treating spinal cord cancer in abroad is radiosurgery, a single exposure of the lesion to a high dose of ionizing radiation.  In this case, the patient's blood supply is not disturbed.   

And in China, spinal cord tumors are removed using methods such as:

immunotherapy is the introduction of biological drugs of antitumor activity into the body. These drugs fight against malignant cells and block tumor growth.;
Cryotherapy is a procedure that allows you to freeze and destroy a neoplasm without harming the surrounding tissues.
Radiation therapy of tumors abroad is also carried out using more gentle and effective methods. One of them is brachytherapy, the introduction of "grains" of radioactive elements into the tumor area. They emit radiation and destroy the neoplasm, but do not have a radiation effect on the body.

Chemotherapeutic treatment of spinal cord cancer abroad also has its own nuances. Anti-cancer drugs are injected directly into the tumor area, without affecting healthy tissues.
