How do I get treated?

Following is a step-by-step guide that illustrates the process of applying for Gene therapy integrative program at Phoenix Cancer Centre in Beijing:

To start the process of applying for treatment: Send an Inquiry via this website with your basic personal details. You may add a message with questions, if you like.

An English-speaking representative will respond to your enquiry by email within 2 business days and will provide you with initial information.

At this point you will be asked to fill out a Medical Evaluation Form so the doctors may review your medical information and recommend whether or not gene therapy may help you, and what would be the suitable medical plan for you.

After filling out and sending us the Medical Evaluation Form, you will be requested to send us other relevant medical records (such as laboratory tests results and CT scans). Final evaluation and confirmation that you are accepted for treatment will not be provided before all relevant medical records are received.

Once your medical information was reviewed by the medical team, you will receive a detailed letter that explains the doctors’ evaluation and recommended treatment. The medical plan will be explained to you including the time of stay and costs.

Our international team will provide you with information, assistance and guidance with all the technical aspects of your traveling to Beijing and how to prepare your arrival for treatment:

• Information about Beijing, China or the specific location you are going to visit.
• Daily services and facilities at the hospital such as food, accommodation, internet access, sightseeing (if you’re interested), etc.
• Visa application: we will provide you with a formal invitation letter for the Chinese embassy nearest to your place of residence, where you will need to apply for a visa to China (each traveler requires a visa).

* You will need to purchase flight tickets on your own according to your preferences and needs. You may use a traveling agent or an airline company of your choosing.  

Once you’ve made your decision to come to China for treatment, we will try to schedule your treatments as soon as possible and according to your request. To confirm your reservation you will be asked to fill out a Signing up form.  This form will formally confirm your reservation and also confirms that you were explained the medical services you are going to receive, their nature and their costs.  When you are going to get medical treatment abroad, an agreement should be made between the patient and the treating hospital to assure both parties are clear and obliged to their part of the ‘deal’. The Signing up form is an agreement between you and the hospital.

Our representatives provide you a bridge – cultural, educational and technical – to make your treatment abroad as safe, knowledgeable and smooth as possible.  We understand that you are facing a major and difficult decision and we welcome you to share with us any question or concern you may have – we will do our best to provide you with the most professional and personal  guidance.
