What the procedure involves.
China is a global leader in lung cancer treatment, offering cutting-edge approaches including robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery, targeted therapy (EGFR/ALK inhibitors), immunotherapy, and advanced radiation techniques. Chinese thoracic surgeons perform some of the highest volumes of lung cancer operations worldwide, resulting in exceptional outcomes. Treatment costs are 70-80% lower than in the US, including access to novel domestic immunotherapy drugs.
Step by step.
Comprehensive Staging
PET-CT, brain MRI, molecular profiling (EGFR, ALK, ROS1, PD-L1) determine cancer stage and treatment targets
Multidisciplinary Treatment Plan
Tumor board of thoracic surgeons, oncologists, and radiation experts design personalized treatment strategy
Primary Treatment
Robotic lobectomy for early stage, or systemic therapy (targeted/immunotherapy/chemo) for advanced disease
Adjuvant Therapy & Surveillance
Post-surgical chemotherapy or immunotherapy maintenance with regular imaging follow-up
- Access to China-developed immunotherapy drugs at lower cost
- High-volume surgical centers with excellent survival outcomes
- Comprehensive molecular profiling guides precision treatment
- 70-80% cost savings compared to equivalent US treatment
- Surgery risks include bleeding, infection, and air leaks
- Chemotherapy side effects (nausea, fatigue, immune suppression)
- Immunotherapy can cause autoimmune complications
- Advanced disease may not respond to available treatments
