India, Republic of (Press Release) July 23, 2008 — Forerunners healthcare has added one more star to their medical services by specializing in the field of liver cancer surgery in India. Forerunners healthcare is assisting international patients who are suffering from liver cancer. The affiliations with Indian hospitals will provide a cost-effective treatment option to uninsured, under insured and even insured Europeans and Americans. Forerunners health care consultants facilitate world class, high quality and less cost medical treatment at some of the best hospitals of Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai in India. They also help clients with accommodation, visa documentation and tourist assistance. According to the international patients who are unable to meet the high expenses of treatment in U.K and US can get the same treatment in India at a lower cost. Primary liver cancer begins in the cells of the liver itself. Although many cancers are declining in the United States, new cases of primary liver cancer are increasing.
The treatment options are dictated by the stage of liver cancer and the overall condition of the patient. The only proven cure for liver cancer is liver transplantation for a solitary, small tumor. Now, many physicians may dispute this statement. They may argue that a small tumor can be surgically removed (partial hepatic resection) without the need for a liver transplantation. However, most patients with liver cancer also have cirrhosis of the liver and would not tolerate liver resection surgery. But, they probably could tolerate the transplantation operation, which involves removal of the patient’s entire diseased liver just prior to transplanting a donor liver. The results of the various medical treatments (chemotherapy, ablation, and proton beam therapy) remain disappointing. Moreover, for reasons noted earlier (primarily the variability in natural history), there have been no systematic study comparisons of the different treatments
Indian Medical tourism covers a broad spectrum of medical services and has now become very popular across the globe for liver cancer surgery. Extremely high cost of health care and medical facilities in developed countries like USA and UK, international patients are moving towards India.
