Patient Success Stories
"After my insurance denied coverage for proton therapy, I was looking at $120,000 out-of-pocket in the US. In China, I paid $35,000 for the same treatment at a JCI-accredited hospital. My doctor had trained at MD Anderson. The care was exceptional."
Robert M.
Prostate cancer survivor from Florida
"I was shocked by how quickly everything moved. In the US, I was told I'd wait 6 weeks for surgery. In China, I had my mastectomy 8 days after arriving. The surgical scar is barely visible."

Will my US oncologist work with the Chinese doctors?
Yes. We facilitate communication between your US physician and Chinese oncology team. All medical records are provided in English, and post-treatment care instructions are shared with your home doctor.
Are the drugs the same quality?
Chinese cancer centers use FDA-approved medications from the same manufacturers (Roche, Novartis, Merck, etc.) used in US hospitals. Many drugs are imported directly from the US or Europe.
What about follow-up care?
Your Chinese oncologist provides detailed post-treatment instructions and remains available for remote consultations. We coordinate with your US physician for ongoing monitoring.
Cancer treatment is never easy, but it shouldn't destroy your family's financial future. China's JCI-accredited cancer centers offer American patients a path to world-class care at prices that make sense.
