"I declare with all responsibility that the San Rafael clinic in Milan is the best
The professionalism of the doctors, the newest equipment, the care of the clinic staff are among the best in Europe. The treatment and operations in Russia and Germany have been carried out, I declare with all responsibility that the San Rafael clinic in Milan is the best. After treating my father’s stomach cancer, I visited the neurologist and gastroenterologist and myself. Thank you so much to the coordinator, the doctors from the international department of the clinic. More in the world of such doctors. THANK YOU!

We received a remote consultation at the San Rafael Clinic, for us this format was not suitable, because the second opinion is for those who either confirm the diagnosis or ask for another alternative treatment, we were told that after the consultation, continue the same, although we were treated and there was no result, as a result, after a remote consultation, we were not assigned anything, plus all communication was extended for a couple of months, because the clinic’s response rate was very low. We could not get any concrete answer, so this consultation was useless for us.

"Just returned from there
Just returned from there. Everything was top notch, and doctors, and the organization of the stay. It took 2 days from the first call to the bookmarked to my arrival in Milan. The next morning, consult a doctor. All questions were solved almost instantly, the results of all analyzes and studies were ready the next day. And constantly in touch with the coordinator Catherine and care worker Alexander. In my trips to the clinic, I was accompanied by a super translator Yulya Sukhneva. Thanks to the clear and professional work of Julia, Kati and Alexander, my stay was very short, I saved money on the hotel. The hotel, by the way, was excellent, up to the clinic, 200 meters. Yes, and more, the prices for consultations and analyzes are quite comparable with those in Moscow. I spent much less money than I thought at first. Thank you all!

Our Breast cancer surgery Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Breast cancer surgery, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Lumpectomy

Breast-conserving surgery involves removing a breast tumor and a small margin of surrounding tissue to treat breast cancer.

Pros: Preserves most of the breast, maintaining its appearance and sensation. Offers a 5-year survival rate of 93% when combined with radiation therapy.
Cons: May require additional surgeries if cancer cells are detected at the margins. Higher risk of local recurrence compared to mastectomy.
Effectiveness: Achieves a 5-year survival rate of approximately 93% with adjuvant therapy.
Duration: 1 to 2 hours
Recovery: 1 to 3 weeks
Best for: Early-stage breast cancer and tumors less than 5 centimeters.
Prices: Cost of Lumpectomy in Italy from $2,700
