PlanetHospital: Cancer treatment abroad

PlanetHospital makes medical tourism safe, easy and affordable. Established in 2002, they were one of the very first organisations to put patients in touch with medical practitioners abroad, and they have helped thousands of people with their medical tourism needs, including services such as cancer treatment, cosmetic, elective, obesity, heart and orthopaedic surgery, dentistry, fertility treatment and organ transplants. 

Why choose PlanetHospital for treatment abroad?

PlanetHospital started quite by accident in 2002, when the original founder was visiting Bangkok and became sick with a pre-existing condition. She was pleasantly surprised by the outstanding medical care she received in Thailand. A dedicated private nurse, bespoke catering and excellent treatment for a fraction of the cost back home.

Cancer treatment abroad with PlanetHospital

PlanetHospital can arrange a variety of treatments for cancer overseas:

Bone marrow transplant

A procedure that transfers healthy bone marrow to the patient to treat diseases such as leukaemia, aplastic anaemia, Hodgkin's disease, multiple myeloma, and immune deficiency disorders.

Prostate reduction (HIFU - high frequency ultrasound)

Radiation free, HIFU (high intensity focused ultrasound) destroys residual cancer in the prostate using clean, precise ultrasound energy.

Surgical oncology

Surgical oncology involves removing tumours surgically. This can be performed very affordably abroad. It may require follow up radiation treatment to make sure the cancer is gone.

Gene therapy

A new technique that uses the insertion of genes to treat, control and prevent diseases.

Proton beam therapy

Proton therapy is a precise form of radiation treatment for cancer. Minimising damage to healthy tissue and surrounding organs, proton treatment has shown to be highly successful and results in fewer side effects than other radiation therapy.

IMRT

Intensity modulated radiation therapy is a type of conformal radiation, which shapes radiation beams to closely approximate the shape of the tumour to spare more adjoining normal tissue.

Radiation oncology

The use of radiation technology to control malignant cancer cells.

Stereotactic radiosurgery

Using state-of-the-art 3D technology, precise radiation is directed to the affected area. A non-invasive surgical procedure for cancer patients.
