Fuda Cancer Hospital in Guangzhou

by bttsen, Aug 15, 2008 02:06AM
Hi,

I have a brother who is diagnosed with a lung cancer.
We have been discussing to bring him to Fuda Cancer Hospital in GuangZhou. Any one know about this Hospital please let me really appreciated.

They use  some kind of technique that is called CRYO, please help us if anyone know about this.
Fuda Hospital also open  a new branch in Jakarta Indonesia. Please tell me for the feedbacks and considerations.  

Thanks so much and God bless you,

Bt

Hi,

It is good that you are interested in finding the best treatment options.

It would be important to mention though, the extent of disease, as this would determine what would constitute optimal and suboptimat therapy. A common designation for this would be the cancer stage.

Cryo is a local therapy that would deliver low temperature over an area of affected lung. The concept is not new, as attempts to perform this treatment have been around since the 70s. However, at present, this is not yet standard therapy, and seems to be offered only in settings where there are no other options (hence a decision to try something without solid experience, since no known treatments are available).  

The standard treatment options for lung cancers are generally surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Chemotherapy would be the most used, as most cases of lung cancer are no longer surgical or radiation candidates.

Stay positive.
