Leukemia (leukosis or blood cancer) is a malignant disease of the blood system which often causes bone marrow disorders. Leukemia is a large group of diseases, the most common of which are lymphoblastic and myeloblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, myeloma and others.

Every year doctors register about 400,000 new cases of leukemia according to the American Institute for Cancer Research. For most patients a bone marrow transplant is the only source of survival. Bookimed helps patients from 193 countries to arrange the treatment of leukemia and bone marrow transplantation in the best hospitals of the world.

Leukemia diagnostics includes a range of approaches starting from morphological complete blood count and bone marrow biopsy. Experts make decision on the use of particular therapeutic approach in each leukemia case individually (considering the cell composition).

Initially, patients begin their treatment course by chemotherapy (administration of chemotherapeutic agents), and if needed - bone marrow transplant procedure (transplantation of healthy donor cells).

LIV Hospital services are very much in line with and in no way inferior to the world level, believe me, because due to health problems of my family, we had to see clinics in the USA, China, South Korea, Israel. From the very first call I felt great care for me as a loved one. Many thanks to Sabina, Nigina - coordinators / translators, they did a great job, we could contact them at any time of the day and they supported the patient with all their hearts. Please note that everything here is based on Turkish, only doctors can communicate in English. It can be seen how much Turkey has advanced and is self-sufficient. I am grateful to fate that I met the professor - neurosurgeon Chagatay Ozturk. Easy to communicate, concise, it is immediately clear that the highest level specialist, after the examination, identified the problem and showed it on the MRI scan and explained what was to come. An operation was performed to remove the hernia on L5-S1 and a titanium disc was installed. The atmosphere of the team was very favorable and cozy, there was a high level of coherence and discipline. The concern was such that I did not feel any pain or heaviness, although they say that the operation was not an easy one. On the second day after the operation, I already walked and on the sixth day I was already discharged. Finally I got rid of pain and sleepless nights over the years! I recommend to everyone, wizards work here - professionals in their field! Best regards, Gaziz Kissym Kazakhstan

My brother has epilepsy .. Without a doubt, the Ichilov clinic is an excellent choice for examinations and treatment of various diseases. And the narrow specialization of doctors make it one of the best in the world. I am very grateful to the Bookimed consultants who helped me choose the Ichilov Medical Center. You really know what you pay money for! Thanks to my consultants, Ostap and Yulia for their work .. I tried to get in touch with the clinic directly, but through Bookimed I managed to organize everything quickly. You can just trust them and not worry. Help and in choosing a doctor and with housing. THANK!

In the questionnaire, there was a question regarding my health concerns which I responded to. I feel that those concerns were not visited with any doctors. I liked the speed of the procedures and professionalism of the program staff. But it felt like I was on a factory line, too robot-like. Wish I had known that I could keep my phone with me. I saw others using phones while waiting to get in to exam rooms but I did not now we were allowed to have phone on us.
