New therapies and drugs under study for cancers ranging from breast, lung, prostate and brain are currently undergoing clinical trials throughout the world. Cancer research and potential therapies have been aimed at identifying the cause of the abnormal or mutant cell growth which results in cancerous growth, and how to kill such cancer growth without severely damaging other tissues and organs in the body, reducing side effects.

 

Cancer research is also studying the effect that rare cancer stem cells have on cancer growth, and results of such research have been published in the International Journal of Cancer as well as Clinical Cancer Research journals. Two new drugs under testing include imetelstat, commonly known as GRN163L, which blocks a certain enzymes, and are currently being tested for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, lung and breast cancer. The often devastating side effects of cancer treatments are the main topic of discussion of many researchers and scientists around the globe.

 

The cost of treating cancer for individual patients is astronomical, and a fortunately, many patients declined medication, drugs are treatments because they can’t afford them, even with health insurance. However, 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.

Parkinson’s disease affects individuals around the world, most of them over 65 years of age.  Parkinson’s disease causes muscles to become stiff and rigid, and tremble, making movement, speech, sleep, and simple functions like bathing, brushing the teeth or hair, or speaking difficult.  Parkinson’s disease is believed to be caused by a loss of the brain cell called dopaminergic neurons found in the brain.

Researchers involved in stem cell research are studying the growth of new tissues and organs from stem cells that may be used in new brain tissue growth and transplants. Several stem cell research communities around the world are looking into prompting multipotent stem cells into becoming specific brain neuron cells, which could then be transplanted into the brains of patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

Research is currently focusing on prompting healthy neural tissues and cells to regrow through various multiplication processes and technology. Such research and development of new Parkinson’s disease treatment and protocols utilizing stem cell technologies and research are on the cutting edge of discovery and facilities around the world, such as the Ukraine, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Germany and the United States are engaged in in-depth research in this area.

Individuals seeking treatments and possible cures to medical illnesses and conditions continue to seek out stem cell treatments available in international destinations and locations. Stem cell technology and treatments available in facilities such as Integra Medical and ProgenCell located in Mexico, as well as EmCell, located in the Ukraine offer international patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s hope for the future.

Would you be surprised to find out that most of the cutting edge technologies, developments, procedures and surgeries are not developed in the United States?  Do you remember the first successful heart transplant?  It didn’t occur in the United States, but Cape Town, South Africa in the late 1960s. Since then, cardiac transplantation is in the top five most commonly performed organ transplants in the United States. South Korea’s scientists are among the leaders in stem cell research, as is stem cell research development in Japan and other Asian countries. Laser assisted vision correction, also known as LASIK, was pioneered in Germany in the mid 1980s, but was not available in the United States until the mid 1990s.

Why does it take so long for treatments and procedures to be accepted in the United States? Most commonly, because most procedures, medications, and medical protocols need to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While the safety of such technologies and drugs are essential, individuals seeking the benefits of stem cell research must travel to Mexico, Asia, Europe or Central Europe for treatment.

The growing trend in medical tourism is caused by an increasing dissatisfaction with the healthcare system in the United States, as well as Britain and Canada.  Medical procedures in orthopedics, cardiac care or cardiology, obesity, and degenerative diseases are being studied, researched and treatments developed in locations such as EmCell, located in Kiev, Ukraine, ProgenCell, located in Tijuana, Mexico, and Integra Medical Center, located in Tamps, Mexico, just south of the Texas border.

Until such procedures are placed on the fast track within the FDA, travelers from the United States will be venturing to destinations such as Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, Mexico, and Central European destinations for immediate and effective, affordable medical care.

Medical tourism is growing increasingly popular with adults and seniors today. This field of health and wellness tourism has exploded because of rising medical care costs for dental care, vision care, laboratory tests, medical treatments and procedures for a multitude of conditions such as COPD, diabetes, heart care and other issues that commonly afflict today’s baby boomer generation. Finding and affording such medical care is becoming increasingly difficult for seniors today, due in part because of the faltering economy, but most commonly because pensions, Social Security and retirement funds are unable to keep up with healthcare costs.

 

To date, India is one of the most popular destinations for medical tourists because of their wide range of high quality yet low-cost procedures. Highly trained physicians and many hospitals within India such as the Artemis Health Institute offer services such as cancer treatment, bariatric procedures, orthopedic knee surgery, obesity and weight loss care and ophthalmology specialists that may be bundled into package deals.

 

Singapore enjoys high-quality hospitals accredited by the JCI, such as the National Heart Center that offers cardiac care in angiography, heart valve surgery and other thoracic care. Thailand rivals India in quality and pricing structures and has long been known as the ultimate destination for world-class private healthcare facilities and highly trained surgical staff.

 

Facilities in Latin American countries are well known for being able to provide high quality dental work, and prices there are one third to one half lower than those found in the United States. Northern Europe, as well as Western European countries such as Hungary, Germany, and Poland. Today’s baby boomers want excellent and affordable health care. They’re crossing borders to meet their needs.

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.
