Breast cancer

Breast cancer (BC) is a malignant tumor that develops due to uncontrolled division of breast cells. The main signs are redness of the skin, pain, discharge from the nipples and the formation of a lump. There are also tumors such as sarcoma, metaplastic carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and angiosarcoma.

In Russia, breast cancer diagnosis often involves a standard approach: removal of the tumor through mastectomy or lumpectomy, followed by radiation and chemotherapy. Although traditional treatment provides positive results for many women, it is not universal and does not lead to improvement in some patients.

Treatment of breast cancer abroad gives more optimistic forecasts. Advanced clinics in Israel, Singapore, Germany, Korea, China, and Turkey have the highest survival rates for this type of cancer. An individual approach to therapy has been practiced abroad for several years through the introduction of new forms of molecular diagnostics. The use of neoadjuvant (before surgery) and intraoperative radiation therapy is increasing to eliminate recurrence after surgery. Women with breast tumors can undergo the latest sentinel lymph node biopsy, which shows how much the tumor has expanded and how much surgery needs to be performed.

New directions of breast cancer treatment abroad

Breast cancer treatment abroad offers the least invasive methods with minimal side effects. In Germany and Israel, women with this diagnosis can undergo innovative robotic mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction.

Targeted therapy

Based on the fact that not all breast tumors are the same and respond differently to the same treatment, targeted therapy is successfully used in Korea, Israel, Turkey and Singapore. Targeted drugs are not only aimed at killing cancer cells, they disrupt the entire mechanism of tumor formation. These medications are usually prescribed if they test positive for HER2 (a protein in the membranes of tumor cells). In combination with surgery, the new method helps to cope with even the most resistant types of cancer. Prices for breast cancer treatment abroad as part of targeted therapy depend on the individual conditions of the disease and the country.

Recently, clinics in Japan, China, and Korea have put into practice an advanced therapy that can destroy a tumor in just 11 days. Doctors combined two existing cancer drugs, Tyverb and Herceptin, which helped reduce the neoplasm in 90% of women.

Radiation therapy

New radiation therapy methods have become available in Turkey, India and China, which irradiate tumors with impeccable accuracy, concentrating the maximum amount of radiation in cancer cells and minimizing damage to healthy tissues. These include:

  • intensive modulated radiation therapy;
  • brachytherapy (the introduction of radioactive "seeds" into the problem area to destroy cancer cells left after surgery);
  • stereotactic radiosurgery.

The cost of stereotactic breast radiosurgery in China starts from $4,000. Clinics in Korea, Turkey, India and China offer the most affordable prices for breast cancer treatment abroad.

Country treatment:
Germany, CDT-WEST Diagnostic and Therapy Center
Direction:
Oncology, Mammology

The Center for Diagnostics and Therapy CDT-WEST – an excellent clinic. Now I know this from personal experience. I came here for breast cancer treatment. At the moment, I am undergoing chemotherapy prescribed by the doctors. A couple of weeks have passed since my last visit. The treatment has been going on for half a year. So far, I want to note that in the 2 times I have been to the medical center, I have never been disappointed with the service and attitude. And I feel better now. The doctors give pleasant prognoses, so I hope that very soon the disease will recede and I will be able to rejoice in life and be healthy again.

Mary
Country treatment:
Türkiye, Memorial Sisli Hospital
Direction:
Oncology

After arriving at the hospital, I received a consultation from a professor regarding a lump in my breast. The translator was constantly with me and helped with everything, as I don't speak Turkish. The doctor is professional and pleasant. He conducted a repeat diagnosis. On the same day, I quickly underwent mammography, ultrasound, and a biopsy. They confirmed the presence of a cancerous tumor. The neoplasm was large and could only be removed by surgery. I will return to the clinic in a few days. I feel like I am in good hands. The hospital is new, built a year ago. . Istanbul is a very beautiful city. I am staying in its tourist part. People are very friendly, the food is wonderful.
