About the clinic

A diagnostic package costs around $1,200, a chemotherapy package runs $3,500, and radiotherapy costs about $8,500. It is a JCI-accredited facility with advanced imaging technology and comprehensive care packages.
Comprehensive Diagnostic Testing
The clinic uses advanced imaging to accurately stage tongue cancer. Initial diagnostics may include a PET-CT scan and an MRI of the affected area. These tools help doctors see the tumor's exact size and location. Oncologist and radiologist consultations guide the diagnosis.
- Diagnostics package: Includes PET-CT, consultations, blood tests, and 5 days of accommodation.
- Tumor marker blood test: Aids in diagnosis and monitoring.
- MRI (one area): Provides detailed images of soft tissue.
- Dermatoscopy: May be used for examining associated skin lesions.
The diagnostic approach aims to create a clear picture for a personalized treatment plan.
Advanced Radiation and Medical Therapy
Emsey Hospital provides modern, non-surgical treatments. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a key method. IMRT uses advanced targeting to treat the tongue cancer precisely. This technique helps spare healthy tissue around the tumor. Chemotherapy is often combined with radiotherapy for better results.
- Radiotherapy package: Covers 33 IMRT sessions plus 45 days of hotel accommodation.
- Chemotherapy package: Includes 5 weekly sessions with professor supervision.
- Concurrent chemoradiation: Using both therapies together to increase effectiveness.
The hospital uses a Linac Trilogy device for this targeted radiation.
Surgical Intervention
Surgery is available for suitable cases. The primary surgical option is tongue cancer surgery. This procedure involves the surgical resection, or removal, of the tumor. The goal is to remove all cancerous tissue while preserving function. The clinic's team performs this complex procedure in their modern operating rooms.
The cost for this surgical intervention is around $19,000. Each patient's surgical plan is determined individually based on their diagnosis.
Accredited Patient-Centered Care
Emsey Hospital holds international accreditations including JCI and ISO 9001. It operates a large facility with 46 departments and 9 operating rooms. The hospital also provides extensive patient support services. These include airport transfers and interpreter services.
