With a new year almost upon us, many of us are thinking about health and wellness and that goes for preventive care against common cancers like breast cancer, prostate and colon cancer, among others. Unfortunately, many diagnosed with cancer are faced with staggering drug costs, even though some of those drugs, especially Avastin, has shown great promise in treatment of breast cancer.

 

Some of the costs for cancer care may be absorbed by Medicare or private insurance, but still leaves patients dealing with debt in the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Still, breast cancer treatments are suggested and encouraged for any individual who has received a diagnosis of breast cancer. When caught early enough, today’s therapies and treatments have grown increasingly successful in eradicating cancer cell growth and development, by as much as 70%.

 

Costs of biological hormone therapy treatments vary according to drug as well as the stage of cancer being treated. In the United States, price ranges for Avastin may cost up to $4,400 a month, while Herceptin costs an average of $3,000 a month.

 

In India, a year’s supply of Herceptin averages out to about $2,000 a month instead of the $3,000 a month in the U.S. In other locations such as Thailand and Singapore, medical travelers are also able to enjoy substantial savings.

 

Chemotherapy costs in the U.S. average about $500 per treatment, while comparative treatments in foreign destinations are much lower. A breast lump removal (lumpectomy) in the U.S. can cost an average of $2,500-$3,000, while such procedures can cost about $700 in India and about $1,000 in Singapore.

 

The Almater Hospital in Mexico and Makewell Meditour in India are just two of the many world-class and excellent facilities that provide cancer care abroad. When it comes to your care, cost shouldn’t be a factor.

Cross-border medical tourism is becoming increasingly popular. Regardless of the economy, Americans need affordable and quality health and medical care. Americans living in border states such as California, Texas, Arizona and Florida are flocking to Mexico and Latin American destinations for quality, high tech, and affordable healthcare.

Lower costs don’t mean lower quality - quite the contrary. Because foreign medical providers generally do not have the same high medical malpractice insurance costs, licensing fees, and rents on facilities, highly trained and expert surgeons, physicians, clinics and hospitals are able to offer individuals with very affordable yet high-quality medical care in such fields as orthopedics, obesity and weight loss surgical procedures, cosmetic and plastic surgeries, dental care, and vision care.

Two of the most popular destinations in Mexico treat thousands of Americans for obesity and weight loss treatments, procedures and surgeries are Mexicali Obesity Solutions,  located in Mexicali, or Sanoviv, located in Baja, both well known for providing laparoscopic obesity procedures, lap banding, gastric bypass, as well as services that provide alternative treatment and options for consumers in a wide range of medical fields and specialties.

Americans seeking affordable healthcare in Mexico also visit Almater Hospital in Mexicali for plastic and cosmetic surgery, fertility treatments, orthopedic surgeries, LASIK eye surgical procedures as well as high-tech and world-renowned care in cardiology, cardiac surgery and cancer care.

Health and wellness facilities in Mexico provide Americans living in border states convenient and affordable options to combat continuously rising healthcare costs in the United States. A majority of healthcare facilities, physicians, surgeons and specialists found in Mexico have been trained in the United States and are accredited and certified by national and international accrediting organizations.

Egypt has been a tourist attraction for as long as civilization. Pyramids, tombs, cities and shops in Egypt are thousands of years old. Another popular aspect of travel to Egypt is its growing medical tourism. Egypt has some of the highest standards of cosmetic surgery in the world, and some of the lowest prices. The advantages of medical tourism are savings on medical procedures accompanied by a great escape from everyday life.

 

Even though Cairo is thousands of years old, it’s still a fully functional, modern day city filled with high-tech and world-class facilities and opportunities.

Egypt is fast growing a reputation of a medical tourist destination that offers superlative dental treatment in Hurghada, and affordable surgery in Egypt is drawing the attention of competitors in the fields of cardiac and cancer care from around the globe. Hospitals in Egypt provide environments that cater to patient care and service. American and British medical schools and universities often train surgeons in Egypt, and surgery in Egypt provides expertise and experience of care in a wide range of medical disciplines.

There are also other benefits to visiting Egypt. Visitors can enjoy cultural and historic places but they will also enjoy modern, new, and exciting and comfortable amenities. For cancer treatment abroad, Egypt is a modern oasis - a paradise in the middle of the desert. Here, technological advancements are not forgotten. Many of the doctors in Egypt that practice medicine throughout Egypt have studied abroad in Western countries and provide treatment at a fraction of the prices that you would otherwise expect.

Cancer can strike anyone, anywhere. Cancer doesn’t discriminate against age, race, color or socioeconomic status. A diagnosis of cancer is one of the hardest things any person will hear in his or her lifetime, and treating it isn’t easy, or cheap. Unfortunately, cancer treatments, both traditional as well as newer treatments, are extremely expensive. No one should have to choose between cancer care and the financial security of their family, home or belongings.

 

Finding affordable cancer treatment in the United States is becoming increasingly difficult, especially when it comes to newer drugs on the market, which often come with a price tag of several thousand dollars a month.

 

When looking for a doctor abroad to help treat cancer, patients should look for cancer specialists trained in the field of oncology. Patients should look for experience, training, and that the specialist of their choice has been board-certified in specific areas of medicine. The physician who is board-certified in medical oncology or surgery will ensure their qualifications in their field.

 

Cancer treatment abroad offers some of the best cancer treatment hospitals in Mexico, or some of the best cancer specialists in Turkey. Affordable cancer treatment in India, as well as Jordan, Spain, Germany and the Ukraine are becoming viable options for not only Americans but also natives from other countries seeking high quality yet affordable cancer care.

 

Check out facilities such as the Artemis Health Institute in Gurgeon, India or the Jordan Hospital in Amman, Jordan and the Almater Hospital in Mexicali, Mexico to determine your best options for treatment.
