Bookimed helped in organising the trip, they always answered my questions, thank you Julia, thank you also to the organiser Irina Korchminskaya, who also helped in organising the trip. Dad was met, in the clinic always took care of Dad interpreter Otakar, if something was needed, was on the phone and came, who speaks fluent Ukrainian and Russian, many of the medical staff understand Russian. There was constant care in the clinic, they always came, cleaned, fed me delicious food and took care of me. Dad was in the clinic for more than 7 days, they did not require additional payment. The nature is like in a health centre: coniferous trees, easy to walk, swallows everywhere. We are waiting for the results of histology. I recommend this clinic to everyone! Thank you

Irina))) she was always there! I liked everything about the clinic: on the one hand, everything is simple, on the other, very professional. We were supported by everyone, from the driver who took my husband to the clinic and found words of support that calmed us down and a little defused the situation at that time, to the best doctors who always found time to care for us.

I am also immensely grateful to Associate Professor Dolezhal, he directly operated on me and subsequently observed the recovery process
Specialist Aleksey helped me very carefully, personally and for sure. Dad successfully underwent prostatectomy in the Czech Republic. I thank all the people involved in organizing Bookimed !!! Testimonial from patient Sergey: Dear visitors of the site "Bookimed", hello. I want to share my story with you. My name is Sergey, St. Petersburg, I am 65 years old and I have had prostate cancer. 03/19. 19 I got a PSA 6.26 analysis result. (I periodically donated blood for PSA, as there were some problems of a urological nature, besides, I was at risk, my father had prostate cancer) I turned to an oncologist, did an MRI of the pelvis, which showed that I in the left lobe of the gland, a capsule of 20x8 mm, conclusion: PIRADS 5, as bad as possible, as the doctor said. Next, the biopsy that confirmed the cancer, “Acinar Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate,” the total score for Gleason 6. Of course it was a hit! Although I understood that this is quite possible. My relatives helped me a lot: wife, children (I have two sons), wife of the eldest son (I do not like the word daughter-in-law). And then the question, "where to do the operation?" His son was told about the existence of the Bookimed company, which helps people in finding the best treatment option for various diseases around the world. He turned to this company, where he was immediately answered and offered two, the most acceptable options, the Czech Republic or Germany, the operation on the Da Vinci robot. Frankly, I was inclined to have surgery in St. Petersburg (three clinics have Da Vinci robots), but after talking with our doctors and the organizer of the operation at St. Zdislava Hospital in the Czech Republic, Irina Korchminskaya, I came to the conclusion that the operation should be done in Czech Republic !!! About a second, later did not regret it! As soon as I agreed to the operation, (previously I sent the results of the examination), on May 17, I was immediately scheduled for surgery on June 3. They immediately told me that the operation will be done by an assistant professor Dolezhal (experience, more than 2000 operations on prostate cancer on a robot !!!), assisted by Professor Tvaruzhek. All information about the clinic and doctors in the public domain on the website of the hospital of St. Zdislava. This is one of the many reasons why I had surgery there, and not in Russia, I could not get information on the statistics of operations performed by doctors in St. Petersburg. I flew to Prague 05/01/19, I was met at the airport and taken to the hospital, there I was met by the translator Otakar Peshek, speaks excellent Russian. 05/03/19 I had surgery, everything went well. I want to thank the entire staff of the hospital, all the great professionals, have been working in this hospital for many years, starting from nurses. Of course, many thanks to Professor Tvarujek, he is a great professional and a wonderful person! For all my busyness, whenever I had questions, I found time to answer them and give recommendations. I am also immensely grateful to Associate Professor Dolezhal, he directly operated on me and subsequently observed the recovery process. Special thanks to Dr. Khamzin! He did not participate in the operation and was not my attending physician. He graduated from the Leningrad Medical Institute, but for about twenty years he has been living and working in the Czech Republic, he stopped by several times, asked how he was doing and made recommendations for further recovery after being discharged from the hospital (gymnastics, etc.). While in the hospital, I contacted the employees of Bookimed three times. , on issues that have arisen with me and now, two months after the operation, I keep in touch with them, as well as with the St. Zdislava hospital, thank you all very much! Now everything is fine with me, almost completely recovered. 08/01/19 donated blood for PSA, the result is 0.026. I want to tell everyone who is faced with the same problem as mine, do not despair! Cancer, this is just a diagnosis! He can be defeated! You just need to turn to the professionals on time! And in the hospital of St. Zdislava wonderful doctors and nurses work! During my stay in the hospital, people underwent surgery: from Latvia, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Croatia, Mexico, Russia !! While in the hospital, I met one person from Riga, with the same problem as mine. We arrived with him on the same day, we performed operations with him on the same day, and on the same day we headed home. While walking in the surroundings (after the operation you need to walk as much as possible, and the hospital is located in the reserve!), We had the idea to travel across Europe from the hospital of St. Zdislava to the Spanish city of Santiago de Compostela on kickbike scooters under the slogan "we beat cancer!". We want to help people who for the first time encounter the same problem as ours understand that cancer can be defeated! We know how important support and faith are for such people, we have come this way! Perhaps this run will draw someone's attention to the existence of this problem and it will reveal this disease in time! The sooner a person turns to specialists with this problem, the easier it will be to win! If someone has questions, I will try to answer everyone, write

The clinic and its medical staff, command respect. Highly qualified doctors, nurses and attendants are very attentive to patients. Chambers are kept in perfect system, daily change of linen. No complaints. The hospital is surrounded by forest, clean air. The only drawback is that there are no air conditioners in the wards.

"I hope that the illness has left him thanks to all, all the staff of this clinic
Before choosing this clinic, my father and I conducted a study of similar clinics in Germany. And as a result, he went to an operation in the clinic of St. Zdislav, about which neither he nor I never regretted. The quality of medicine and equipment is similar, the doctor and his assistant are professionals of the highest class. I was very worried about the procedure and the stage of recovery from my father, but everything turned out to be much easier, without pain, etc. Active four-day therapy after the operation completely restored his strength and energy, so we left the clinic in a very good state of health and mood. I hope that the illness has left him thanks to all, all the staff of this clinic. A huge thank you for that !!!! And lastly: the cost of treatment in the clinic of St. Zdislav is twice as cheap as the same operation in Germany. Like this

FAQ about Oncology in Czech Republic

These FAQs come from real patients seeking medical assistance through Bookimed. Answers are given by experienced medical coordinators and trusted clinic representatives.

Do oncology centres in the Czech Republic use a multidisciplinary approach for cancer treatment?

Oncology centres in the Czech Republic use multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) to manage cancer cases. Experts like medical oncologists, surgeons, and radiologists collaborate on treatment plans. Accredited Comprehensive Cancer Centres (CCCs) must review complex cases to decide on systemic therapies or surgery.

  • Expert boards: Teams include radiation oncologists, pathologists, and surgeons to coordinate care.
  • Precision medicine: Molecular Tumor Boards at major facilities analyse genetic testing for targeted therapies.
  • Modern equipment: Centres use Da Vinci robotic systems and CyberKnife for precise tumour removal.
  • Holistic support: Frameworks integrate psychosocial care, palliative specialists, and chaplains for patient wellbeing.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Czech robotic surgery centres demonstrate high specialisation levels. Dr Jaroslav Tvaruzek at the Robotic Surgery Center in St. Zdislava Hospital has performed over 3,500 procedures. This high volume often leads to better patient outcomes and faster recovery times.

Patient Consensus: Patients are pleased with the attentive medical staff in the Czech Republic. They often mention the benefit of dedicated interpreters and peaceful hospital settings during their recovery.

Can I access advanced proton beam therapy for cancer treatment in the Czech Republic?

Patients can access proton beam therapy in the Czech Republic. The Proton Therapy Center in Prague is a major European hub for this treatment. It uses pencil beam scanning to target tumours with 2-millimetre precision while sparing healthy tissues.

  • Proton Therapy Center: Europe's largest specialised facility treating thousands of domestic and international patients.
  • Pencil beam scanning: This technology delivers radiation with 2-millimetre accuracy to protect critical organs.
  • Adult and paediatric: The centre treats various malignancies including brain, prostate, and lung cancers.
  • Rapid case review: Specialist teams typically create personalised treatment strategies within 24 hours of receiving records.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Czech clinics often keep specialist care in-house to speed up timelines. While the Proton Therapy Center centralises radiation, diagnostics like PET-CT and MRI are handled on-site. This efficiency allows international patients to start therapy much faster than in typical public systems.

Patient Consensus: Patients in the Czech Republic appreciate the high care standards and peaceful clinic settings. Many highlight the fluent English-speaking staff and the dedicated support. This help makes navigating complex cancer protocols feel more manageable.

How is robotic cancer surgery utilised in Czech hospitals for oncology patients?

Czech hospitals use robotic systems to perform high-precision cancer surgeries through tiny 1 cm incisions. Specialist centres mainly use Da Vinci platforms for urologic, gynaecologic, and abdominal oncology. These systems provide 3D magnification to help surgeons remove tumours. This technology helps spare healthy tissue and vital nerves.

  • Technological standard: Surgeons use Da Vinci Xi and X platforms for robot-assisted laparoscopic procedures.
  • Urologic priority: Specialised units perform nerve-sparing prostatectomies and robotic nephrectomies for kidney cancer.
  • Gynaecologic range: Major clinics use robotics for complex removals including radical hysterectomies and urogynaecology.
  • Non-surgical robotics: Czech centres use CyberKnife robotic radiosurgery to treat moving tumours with precision.

Bookimed Expert Insight: The Czech Republic has established specialised robotic hubs like the Robotic Surgery Center in St. Zdislava Hospital. This centre is located in a nature reserve to aid recovery. It performs over 500 robotic prostatectomies annually. Our data shows high-volume clinics often have doctors like Dr Jaroslav Tvaruzek. He has performed over 3,500 robotic operations.

Patient Consensus: Patients in the Czech Republic highlight the attentive care from nursing staff. They also value having fluent English or Russian translators during their hospital stay. Many noted the peaceful, forest-surrounded clinic locations helped them feel relaxed during recovery.

Which are the top-rated oncology centres in the Czech Republic for international patients?

Top-rated oncology centres in the Czech Republic include the Proton Therapy Center and Robotic Surgery Center in St. Zdislava Hospital. These facilities specialise in precise radiotherapy and minimally invasive surgeries. Most leading hospitals hold ISO International Standards or SAK accreditation for high-quality inpatient care.

  • Proton beam therapy: Prague houses one of Europe's largest centres for precise, non-invasive cancer treatment.
  • Robotic surgery expertise: St. Zdislava Hospital has performed over 4,000 surgeries using the Da Vinci system.
  • Specialised diagnostics: Centres like Multiscan Pardubice offer MRI-guided biopsies and comprehensive cancer screening packages.
  • Expert onco-urology: Specialists like Dr Jan Dolezel focus on laparoscopic and robotic methods for complex cases.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Many search for oncology in Prague. However, the Robotic Surgery Center in St. Zdislava Hospital treats over 2,300 patients annually. It is located in a quiet nature reserve. Its high volume and focus on Da Vinci systems help specialists maintain high technical precision. This results in excellent recovery times for prostate and urological cancers.

Patient Consensus: Patients often appreciate the warm feel of hospitals located in forest areas. They also value the seamless support from dedicated interpreters. Many note the benefits of comprehensive care, including on-site rehabilitation. This helps patients restore their strength and energy quickly after surgery in the Czech Republic.

How can an international patient request a second opinion from a Czech oncologist?

International patients request second opinions from Czech oncologists through structured remote reviews or in-person consultations. Specialists review pathology reports, original imaging, and treatment history to evaluate cases. This process typically uses digital portals for secure record submission. Results are usually provided within 5 to 10 days.

  • Required records: Provide histopathology results, original DICOM imaging files, and detailed chemotherapy timelines.
  • Engagement channels: Access specialists via oncology hubs like Altoa Multiscan or St. Zdislava Hospital.
  • Review formats: Choose between written reports or live video calls with multidisciplinary tumour boards.
  • Professional support: Bookimed coordinators handle logistics like record translation and scheduling.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Czech clinics specialising in robotic surgery often include long-term postoperative monitoring. St. Zdislava Hospital is one such facility. While a second opinion focuses on the diagnosis, these centres frequently provide follow-up advice. This support can continue for months after the review. This longitudinal care is rarer in other European hubs. It offers significant value for patients with complex prostate or urological cancers.

Patient Consensus: Patients note that Czech specialists are accessible and often provide direct daily monitoring. Those visiting from abroad appreciate that many staff members speak English. Clinics also provide fluent interpreters. This makes the transition from a remote opinion to in-person care seamless and stress-free.

Will the medical staff in Czech oncology centres speak English?

Most oncologists in leading Czech centres speak fluent English. These specialists often publish research internationally and participate in global medical conferences. While doctors are proficient, English levels vary among nursing and administrative staff. Private centres often provide bilingual support to assist with daily communication.

  • Specialist doctors: Senior oncologists in major hubs usually have excellent technical English.
  • Support staff: Nurses and receptionists often have limited English proficiency.
  • Dedicated coordinators: Personal coordinators at clinics like Altos Clinic provide English-speaking support.
  • International departments: Facilities including Proton Therapy Center Prague regularly manage foreign patients.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Language support often correlates with a clinic's patient volume. Clinics like Altos Clinic have treated patients from Australia since 2015. They maintain dedicated English-speaking staff. Patients should check if their specific medical team can communicate in English for complex consultations.

Patient Consensus: Patients in the Czech Republic find that many medical staff understand English. However, having an interpreter or coordinator makes the process much easier. They appreciate clinics in quiet, natural settings and note that specialists are very attentive during recovery.
