София • Oct 7, 2019
I have breast cancer and I went through chemotherapy in Moscow. Six sessions have passed. It was very difficult to tolerate these procedures. A doctor in Kazakhstan said that this is enough, it is necessary to switch to tableted chemistry. And Moscow offered to continue doing chemotherapy. Opinions are divided. It was necessary to find a third party. I accidentally found your site on the Internet. Ekaterina Koliko wrote very quickly. The benevolence of Katyusha was immediately arranged towards her. She asked me what I would like to go to. I said that I want to go to the Severance clinic in Korea. Katyusha approved my choice. I sent all the necessary documents and Katyusha quickly redirected everything to the clinic. They began to wait for the invitation. For some reason (and for what I already knew in the clinic), there was no invitation. I am very grateful to Katyusha that she was in touch all the time, supported me, gave me hope. We arrived in Seoul in the morning, we were met by a transfer, brought to the hotel. After lunch, they were already in the clinic, I began to take tests. Constantly with me was one of the translators. Girls translators are great fellows, these are Lida, Olesya, Sofia, Tatyana, Alena. Any question could be addressed, they always prompted. They are professionals. Always with a smile, polite, with enormous patience, and most importantly, they understand that they work with a special audience, with people who did not come to rest. Someone to find out the diagnosis, and someone to do the operation. Thank you so much to the girls. The clinic was impressive. Doctors are professionals. The equipment is super. I got the opinion of a third party, it coincided with the opinion of a doctor from Kazakhstan. I was prescribed a prescription, I bought medicines at the pharmacy and started drinking on arrival home. I also want to write about Darina, who was engaged in transfer (the transfer to the clinic was very convenient and met and carried out), the selection of the hotel was also always in touch, and if I had any questions, she quickly answered them. I want to say that I am very happy for getting to know BOOKIMED, professionals really work there, and most importantly, they are not indifferent people. I am grateful to the Almighty and all who were near me. And the words of the doctor gave me inspiration and inspired great hope, for the sake of these words it was worth a long way to go. Once again, many thanks to all.

FAQ about High intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU) in Republic of Korea

FUS ablation or HIFU This is a non-invasive organ-preserving procedure that allows you to influence the tissues of benign and malignant tumors of various localization.

It is based on the ability of ultrasonic waves to pass through tissues without damaging them. An increase in temperature, which leads to necrosis of tumor cells, is achieved at a specially set point using a lens. This point is called "spot".

The essence of the method : ultrasonic radiation is focused on a specific area inside the body. In a few seconds, the fabric is heated to a temperature of 55-85°C and begins to break down. Next, the ultrasound is transferred to the adjacent area of the tumor. Such manipulations are repeated until the surface of the entire node is processed.

The required number of FUS-ablation sessions is determined by the doctor after a thorough examination.

Where can I get FUS ablation?

Currently, FUS-ablation is successfully used to treat tumors of various origins. The presence of modern equipment and qualified specialists in foreign medical centers ensures the accuracy of ultrasound exposure and the high efficiency of this method. In the CIS countries, the use of the FUS-ablation method is currently not widespread.

Bookimed patients have been successfully treated with HIFU ablation in medical centers in Israel and Turkey.
