Fear of cancer is worse than cancer itself. Cancer is a disease that begins with the rapid and abnormal growth of various cells in the body and then causes damage to the patient's body by invasion to destroy and to occupy the existing space. The abnormal growth of these cells eventually results in the formation of large masses (tumours). These tumours are divided into two types of malignant and benign tumours. Prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer are called oncology,and the three main areas in this field are radiotherapy, chemotherapy,and surgery. Different cancers are named based on the location from which cancer started, such as brain cancer, head and neck cancer, oral cancer, lung cancer, etc.
In recent years, cancer worldwide has increased by about 20%. The most well-known causes of cancers are smoking, an unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity and infections. 85% of the causes of cancer are environmental factors, and 15% are genetic. Men ages 40 to 45 and women aged 29 and older are more susceptible to cancers.
Every year, many physicians and researchers from around the world, including Iran, attend world congresses to exchange the latest scientific advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Using the new methods of cancer treatment in Iran has, in many cases, eliminating the need for surgical procedures, IMRT is one of them. Iran's medical knowledge is at the forefront of the Middle East, and the quality of healthcare we deliver to patients is in line with world standards.
In Iran, infertility treatments, cosmetic surgeries, maternal and fetal medications, cardiovascular diseases, ophthalmic and general surgeries, orthopedics, cancer treatment, and organ transplants are among the services that have the highest tourist attraction in health. Studies on medical costs show that treatment costs in Iran are much lower than in developed countries.
Iran is much more cost-effective than its regional rivals, including Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, as well as Southeast Asia, such as Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and India. Some patients in European countries are currently coming to Iran for cancer treatment because the cost of treatment in Europe is high.
The cost of cancer treatment in these countries is sometimes four to five times higher than in Iran. The cost of cancer treatment varies depending on the amount of medication, tests performed, the length of treatment, and many other services. For example, the cost of cancer treatment for breast cancer starts at $ 800, colon cancer starts at $ 3000, and bone cancer starts at $ 3000. Refer to the Cancer Treatment Price Comparison Table to see the price range.
"It is true that cancer is the most treatable disease in the world, but provided that the diagnosis is timely," said Professor Qavamzadeh, a leading Iranian oncologist in the field of Iranian oncology.
Since about 40% to 50% of cancers are preventable if you see any warning symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, hoarseness, abnormal bleeding in postmenopausal women, excessive coughing, skin lesions and wounds to any part of the body and it lasts longer than two weeks referral to a physician is necessary. It is likely that be a symptom of cancer.
The primary clinical methods of diagnosing cancer are imaging tests, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasound, diagnostic tests such as pathology, biopsy, and scanning.
