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.
