What diseases can be treated in Europe?
Doctors in Europe treat anything, from rashes on the face to rare forms of oncology. Most patients prefer to have their treatment in another country only if they have severe diseases that require top-class medical care.
The most common areas of medical tourism are the following:
Oncology. At German clinics and medical facilities in other Western European countries, doctors successfully cure more than half of all cancer cases. They perform modern operations that are organ-preserving whenever possible. In the early stages, minimally invasive interventions can be performed through short skin incisions or through natural body openings. The best medical centers offer robot-assisted surgery. Cancer Centers abroad use the latest methods of radiation therapy, which are very accurate and safe. They use innovative technologies for cancer treatment, such as chemoembolization and radioembolization, cancer vaccines, CAR T-cell therapy, stem cell transplants, radiotargeted therapy, and other techniques.
Cardiac surgery. People come to Europe to undergo heart surgery and minimally invasive procedures through blood vessels (endovascular or percutaneous techniques). In developed countries, it is possible not only to implant a pacemaker or stents into coronary arteries through an endovascular access but also to perform plastic surgery or even heart valve replacement.
Neurosurgery and spinal surgery. It is best to have surgery on the brain and spine at a good hospital in order not only to cure the disease but also to avoid aggravation of the neurological deficit. European hospitals use state-of-the-art equipment, including neuronavigation systems, powerful operating microscopes, intraoperative radiation diagnostics, and neuromonitoring. As a result, operations are not only effective but also safe here.
Orthopedics. Many patients come to Europe to undergo joint replacement surgery, cure chronic musculoskeletal diseases, or undergo surgery for sports injuries. The majority of interventions in European orthopedic centers are performed through several millimeter-long punctures in the joint area using a minimally invasive arthroscopic method.
