"To everyone who is struggling with a terrible diagnosis, I would highly recommend calling the Bookimed
During the summer and autumn of 2019, my brother went through three courses of chemotherapy (lymphoma) in the clinic, the treatment results are very good and we have a hope for his recovery! Many thanks to the doctors and medical staff of the clinic! Thanks to all Bookimed.com coordinators and logisticians. The clinic has highly qualified doctors, medical equipment also at the highest world level. Everything is done very quickly and clearly. Single and double rooms of the clinic correspond to the level of a 5 * hotel. Excellent food and staff. Each trip is planned in advance, a treatment plan and cost are sent. You can always contact the clinic and discuss all points of interest, even before arrival. Upon arrival, the brother was met and accommodated in a hotel located next to the clinic. The translator and coordinators were always in touch, all issues were resolved immediately. The cost of treatment pleasantly surprised us, it turned out to be exactly two times cheaper (!) Through Bookimed.com than our previous two trips that we organized on our own. Value for money deserves the highest ratings. We are very pleased with the clinic treatment and Bookimed.com services. To everyone who is struggling with a terrible diagnosis, I would highly recommend calling the Bookimed.com coordinators to the doctors and discussing all your questions. They will give you recommendations, select a clinic and a doctor, and send prices for treatment. You can compare everything, think and make a choice. It is easy, simple and absolutely free!

"In general, I am satisfied with the result
I underwent an online consultation on the choice of the most optimal treatment option. Since two well-known Moscow clinics gave completely different recommendations for the treatment of my disease (spleen lymphoma): surgical removal of the spleen, or chemotherapy, I decided to ask the opinion of a German professor. Of course, it is very expensive to be treated in Germany, but getting a competent opinion on your specific case, sending all the necessary tests, diagnostics and receiving answers and a treatment regimen, is quite possible: my online consultation cost 650 euros + a written summary with translation into Russian. The whole process, from collecting documents / analyzes, to receiving the final summary, was accompanied by the coordinating doctor Alexey from Bookimed, to whom I am very grateful. He is very responsive, always in touch, answers all questions, but at the same time he is tactful and unobtrusive - a real professional and a very kind person. So, I received answers to my questions, chose the tactics of treatment, and all this for a very reasonable fee. The only drawback is the excess of the stated deadlines, which is not typical, as I think, for the Germans (the consultation was promised within 7 days, in fact it took place 15 days after payment, and the final summary was delayed for a couple of days), it would be better to immediately position the maximum period , then there would be no painful days of waiting. In general, I am satisfied with the result. I think in my case, this is just a very convenient form of counseling that does not require huge material and organizational costs associated with physical travel abroad. I bow to the coordinator Alexei for his patience, tact and professionalism!

Our Bone marrow transplantation Techniques: What Suits You Best?

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

Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation

This procedure involves collecting stem cells from a patient's own bone marrow, processing them, and reinfusing to aid in recovery, especially for cancer treatment, with minimal rejection risk.

Pros: Minimal risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) as it uses the patient's cells. No need for donor matching, making it suitable for certain blood disorders and cancers.
Cons: Requires general anesthesia for cell collection, potentially causing pain and fatigue. Higher relapse rates in some cancers compared to donor transplants.
Effectiveness: Increases survival rates and quality of life in blood-related cancers and disorders.
Duration: 3-5 hours.
Recovery: 1-3 months for initial recovery, full immune recovery up to 12 months.
Best for: Blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma; beneficial when chemotherapy is insufficient.

Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplantation from a Related Donor

This procedure involves transferring healthy stem cells from a closely matched family member to replace damaged bone marrow in patients with certain diseases.

Pros: Higher success rates due to better donor matching with a related donor, reducing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) risks. Engraftment is typically faster with 70-90% success.
Cons: Requires a compatible family donor; there is a risk of GVHD despite close matching. Availability of a suitable donor can be limited.
Effectiveness: Success rate is 70-90% with related donors.
Duration: 1-2 hours for the procedure, with additional days for preparation and recovery.
Recovery: Initial recovery takes 3-6 weeks; complete recovery can take several months.
Best for: Blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, and certain genetic disorders. Ideal for patients with a suitable family donor.
Prices: Cost of Allogenic bone marrow transplantation from a related donor in Germany from $262,619

Allogenic Bone Marrow Transplantation from an Unrelated Donor

This procedure involves transplanting stem cells from a donor who is not genetically related to the recipient, used primarily for treating blood-related diseases.

Pros: Offers a wider donor pool, increasing chances of finding a match. Provides a potential cure for conditions where related donors are unavailable.
Cons: Higher risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) compared to related donor transplants. Requires stringent donor matching, potentially delaying treatment.
Effectiveness: Success rates vary but can be as high as 60-70% in certain conditions.
Duration: The procedure typically takes 1 day for infusion, with 2-4 weeks for engraftment.
Recovery: Recovery period can last 3-6 months, with full immune system recovery taking up to a year.
Best for: Suitable for leukemia, lymphoma, and other serious blood disorders where a related donor is not available.

Haploidentical Stem Cell Transplantation

Involves using stem cells from a half-matched donor, typically a family member, to treat various blood disorders and cancers.

Pros: Availability of donor is higher due to partial match requirement, covering 50% of potential related donors. Reduced waiting time for suitable donor compared to unrelated allogenic transplants.
Cons: Higher risk of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) compared to fully matched donors, with around 30% incidence rate. Requires more intense conditioning regimens.
Effectiveness: 60-80% success rate in achieving engraftment and remission in certain blood cancers.
Duration: 4-6 hours for the procedure itself.
Recovery: 3-6 months for full recovery and immune reconstitution.
Best for: Patients with leukemia and other hematological malignancies lacking a fully matched donor. Suitable for urgent transplant needs.
