"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!

  • is effective in treating recurrent tumors, even in those patients who've already undergone another type of radiotherapy
  • the higher survival rate for patients with some tumor types
  • improved patient's quality of life during and after the treatment.

Proton therapy is widely used to treat cancers which are insensitive to other therapies or when standard radiotherapy can be dangerous for a patient. It is also a primary radiotherapeutic treatment to treat pediatric cancer as far as children's healthy cells are not damaged, so a little patient's healthy organs are developing in a normal way.
