For treatment in Germany: is the choice of German clinics justified?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Germany is one of the most popular destinations in medical tourism. The flow of patients from other countries is constantly increasing, and on average, according to the estimates of the host clinics, it amounts to 250,000 people a year<\/g>. Germany’s reputation allows patients to be sure that they will receive an accurate diagnosis and high-quality treatment according to the most modern protocols, taking into account individual characteristics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Swiss Nobel Foundation, German medicine ranks third<\/strong> in the number of laureates, just behind America and Great Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important indicator recorded by the Ministry of Health is the rate of medical errors. In Germany, it is 0.3%, which makes it the first place<\/strong> in the world ranking and gives the right to be proud of the level and qualification of doctors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What German clinics offer to foreign patients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Germany is a leader among Western countries in terms of health care financing and has vast resources to create and equip medical centers of the highest level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prices for treatment in German clinics are regulated by law, in accordance with approved tariffs, so the cost of medical services in Germany is lower than in many European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Material equipment and a friendly atmosphere make the stay in German hospitals as comfortable as possible and stimulate recovery processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovations introduced in leading areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oncology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Oncology has always been a priority for treatment in Germany. And nowadays, the highest level of diagnostics and treatment of cancer patients make German clinics the leaders among foreign patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When treating cancer, doctors use modern protocols that can be adjusted at a later date. This system is called “therapy optimization research”: the<\/strong> combined use of standard treatment and research on a specific form of cancer. The programs are then refined and optimized to be as effective as possible for patients with the same tumors. In this way, the protocol is not valid for a specific number of years, but changes as new research data become available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to an international team of scientists led by Dr. Klaus Metzeler, a molecular diagnostic method for acute myeloid leukemia<\/strong> based on the detection of 17 aggressive molecules has been developed at the Munich Research Center. It shows which patients are likely to relapse after treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the cure statistics of the World Health Organization WHO, 85% of leukemia patients recover after chemotherapy. But within two years, more than half of them have a recurrence of the disease because not all pathological cells have been destroyed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scientists have managed to prove that patients with an aggressive form of leukemia have a certain pattern of molecules in their leukemic cells. Having identified this at the diagnostic stage, patients are prescribed intensified therapy aimed at destroying specific cells in the bone marrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The molecular method for the detection of 17 aggressive molecules is the most efficient and cost-effective method for the diagnosis of blood cancers and is available at leading clinics in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAR-T-cell therapy against cancer<\/strong> is another novelty in the treatment of cancer patients presented in top German hospitals. The innovative project is based on taking immune T-cells from a patient and “customizing” them in the laboratory. To do this, they are endowed with a chimeric antigenic receptor (CAR) that recognizes a structure on the surface of tumor cells and destroys them. The obtained CAR-T structures are injected back into the patient’s body, and then the active phase of the fight against the tumor begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check-up diagnosis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Germany is among the top countries for check-up studies. Success is achieved by combining efficiency, speed, accessibility, a comprehensive approach and physician competence. An important advantage of check-ups in German clinics is an individualized plan, in which the doctor examines the patient before the check-up, collects an anamnesis and only then prescribes the necessary range of examinations. This approach guarantees the accuracy and focus of the check-up, so that the slightest deviations from the norm are not missed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
