The whole atmosphere of the clinic gave us hope for a speedy recovery and a positive outlook on life
Fate had to visit the Quims clinic, which we learned about from the coordinator Catherine (Kiev). She kindly provided information and consulted in good faith during her stay in Korea. We were met at the airport, brought to the clinic. Polite translators worked with us. Quickly diagnosed. We took into account the wishes for acceleration in time of treatment. The conditions in the ward are acceptable. We were surrounded by the constant attention of medical staff. Communication with the Son and Khan processors, the whole atmosphere of the clinic gave us hope for a speedy recovery and a positive outlook on life. Thank. Rahmet from Gulnara and Zamira.

"I am very happy for getting to know BOOKIMED, professionals really work there, and most importantly, they are not indifferent people
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.

The clinic is completely low level of service. We arrived at 12 noon and were held until 16.30 in the waiting room. This despite the fact that they knew that a patient arrived with stage 4 cancer, metastases in the spine. it’s very difficult for an old person with such a diagnosis to sit. My dad is 75 years old, my mother is 71. It is hard for a healthy, young one to sit in one place for almost 5 hours. Parents chose a place in 6 local wards. Single VIP is no different from her. The small room is stuffy and cramped. The attendant is provided with a seat. This is a roll-out mattress from under the bed, covered in leather or leatherette. There is no bedspread. We were given a blanket when asked. And Dad hung him on a nearby bed, so that from under it would not blow. He slept for 5 days in clothes on a mattress. On the day when they were supposed to do an MRI of the spine, my sister came to the reception several times asking her to take her mom early. As a result, the MRI was done at 14-30. All this time, Mom did not drink, did not eat in the evening. Terribly exhausted. They did an MRI for a long time, mom says probably 40 minutes and all this time she lay on a cold surface, froze very much and as a result, her mother was tormented by severe pain in the spine. When we sent mom to Korea, we thought that there mom would be well anesthetized, that Korea had the best drugs. When dad said that mom got worse there, that they are tormented by pains, from which she constantly cried, I asked to write the name of the pain medication. My sister immediately sent the name of pain relief to our doctor. It turned out she was given paracetamol (for some reason) and a tramadol tablet, while here Mom got pain medication three times a day with morphine. About what everything was indicated in the extract.

FAQ about Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) in Republic of Korea

HIPEC or hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (“hot chemo”) is a treatment method to destroy malignant tumors during surgery. The option is applied for metastatic cancers (stomach, colon, rectal) in the abdomen.

A doctor fills the abdominal cavity with chemo drugs heated up to 40-42°C. The medicines circulate into the abdomen within 1.5 hours. During this period, the drugs affect the rest of the cancer cells and destroy them.

Hot chemotherapy allows delivering the high doses of drugs precisely to malignant cells without damaging healthy ones. The heated drugs almost do not penetrate the blood. That helps to reduce side effects.

What does HIPEC treatment cost depend on?

  • Surgery cost. “Heated chemo” is performed 1 time during the surgery. That means surgery price affects HIPEC cost.
  • Doctor’s experience. If a doctor has huge experience, academic degrees, his services can be more expensive.
  • Country's price policy. Some countries provide low cost for HIPEC according to their price policy. For example, in India HIPEC surgery cost starts from $17,000 and in the USA – from $20,000 to $100,000. The quality of the chemo is at the same high level in both countries. Low costs in India are explained by general country's price policy.
  • Hospital brand recognition. Several hospitals have their specific price lists and HIPEC cost varies depending on a hospital’s popularity and medical services it provides.
  • Extra charges. Some German medical centers ask for prepayment but if a treatment occurs cheaper, a patient gets the rest of the money back. Additional services as transfer, language assistance, meals are paid separately.

What does HIPEC cost include?

  • Surgery prices
  • doctors’ fees
  • medicines
  • hospital stay.

What are the benefits of HIPEC?

  • Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy affects damaged tissues locally. It does not penetrate the common bloodstream and does not influence the whole body.
  • Such a therapy kills cancer cells with high temperature. The heating damages the membrane and internal structure of malignant cells. It enforces the delivery of chemo to the necessary areas in the abdominal cavity.
  • HIPEC drug can penetrate tumor tissue to 3 mm that helps effectively destroy cancer cells.
  • A patient gets a dose of HIPEC once during the surgery.
  • The combination of surgery and HIPEC therapy is more effective than these both treatments separately.
  • This treatment improves the patient’s quality of life. Side effects after HIPEC are mild and not long-term compared to traditional chemotherapy.

When is hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemo indicated?

  • tumor removals (helps to reduce the risk of relapses)
  • recurrent cancer
  • large tumors in the abdomen.

HIPEC has almost no contraindications. Such a method is applied when other options have been ineffective.

What is the cheapest HIPEC treatment cost?

The cheapest HIPEC cost is in India – from $17,000 according to local medical centers’ data. Such a low cost is explained by the price policy of the country, where the population’s income is low as well. Concerning healthcare quality in India, it is at the highest level as in the USA or Germany.

HIPEC for colorectal cancer

After colorectal cancer surgery, specialists use HIPEC for stages 3-4. That helps to increase the survival rate and to make patients live longer. Such a method gave positive results in treatment of colon and rectal cancers.
