There are more than 200 types of cancer affecting different parts of the body - and correspondingly there are many different types of cancer treatment available including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, as well as a number of newer innovative treatments.

Cancer treatment process begins with diagnosis. İn many cases, the sooner cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better a person's chance for a full recovery. Often a doctor can find early cancer during a physical exam or with routine tests, even if a person has no symptoms. Howevere Medlife Assistance offers all possibly necessary tests in fully equipped hospitals with consultation of high qualified specialists to achieve exact diagnosis and choose the most siutable treatment plan. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment for cancer. Treatment options include chemotherapy, surgery, radiation therapy and more, and in some cases a patient will require a combination to maximise the effectiveness of treatment. It is becoming increasingly common to engage a team of experts to provide the best treatment mix for certain patients. Each treatment has both benefits and side effects, and our physician would discuss both in depth before proceeding. No matter the diagnosis and recommended treatment plan, it is always appropriate to seek a second opinion. Medlife Assistance’s contracted hospitals have a reputation of providing superlative Cancer Treatment with most advanced medical technology and superior services:

Surgery (including CyberKnife and GammaKnife techniques).

CyberKnife is an advancement over, or refinement of the stereotactic radio surgery. This treatment is short, performed on an outpatient basis and lasts 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the tumor's complexity and shape. Patients require no anesthesia. The recovery is remarkably quick; the patient gets rapid relief from pain and other symptoms. CyberKnife treatment is flexible as its maneuverability is unmatched by the conventional radiation systems. It can treat tumors or lesions in the brain, spine, lung, liver, pancreas and prostate from any angle. CyberKnife continually tracks tumor position, detects any tumor or patient movement and automatically corrects the treatment delivery, without having to reposition the patient or interrupt the treatment.
