Features of the Clinic
EFFECTIVE DIAGNOSTICS OF CANCER IN THE FUDA HOSPITAL GUANGZHOU
The medical center is equipped with modern technology, allowing to accurately examine the affected tissues of the body, so that doctors are able to prescribe the most suitable treatment for the patient. Fuda Clinic uses advanced equipment – Siemens 64-slice CT and Siemens 1.5 T superconductive MRI, multifunctional TDSA-CT, Olympus electronic endoscope. The clinic uses Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI), which is similar to a PET-CT scan, but at a much lower cost. For the diagnosis of cancer they apply:
- Digital radiography;
- Digital angiography;
- Magnetic resonance imaging;
- Computed tomography;
- Ultrasound;
- Siemens 64-cut CT and Siemens 1.5T superconducting MRI.
The FoundationOne CDx oncology test is also avaliable at the Chinese Fuda Center. This is the first test approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to diagnose breast, ovarian, lung and melanoma cancers. It can give an accurate prediction of the safety of immunotherapy for a patient. You can get your results within 2 weeks.
METHODS OF ONCOLOGICAL THERAPY IN THE CENTER OF FUDA IN CHINA
Doctors of the Chinese clinic are sure that with cancer therapy, biological features or heterogeneity of the tumor can not be ignored.
Due to the orientation of specialists on the personalized approach to each case, the hospital demonstrate a high success rate of treatment.
In the early stages of cancer, the Fuda Clinic uses accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, namely organ-sparing surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and minimally invasive ablation.
For advanced cancers, Fuda uses a comprehensive, multidisciplinary, personalized approach to treatment.
Innovative methods of cancer treatment avaliable at Fuda Hospital
Irreversible electroporation (NanoKnife)
This minimally invasive procedure removes the tumor with ultra-short electrical impulses. Because of this, only the malignized cells are affected, and the healthy tissue remains untouched. This method is often used to treat hard-to-reach cases, when traditional surgery cannot be applied. Used on tumours of pancreas, liver, lungs and soft tissue.
Percutaneous chemical ablation
Pure alcohol destroys the tumor by extracting water out of cancer cells and denaturing the structure of proteins. Ethanol is injected through the skin with an ultrathin needle under supervision by ultrasound or CT. Up to five or six sessions of injections may be required to completely destroy the cancer. The method is used to treat liver cancer, lung cancer and sarcomas.
Method 3 "C" + P
Complex CSA, CMI, CIC and personalized therapy, which was invented and applied for the first time in the Fuda Cancer Clinic. This method gives the accuracy and effectiveness in the treatment of cancer and maximizing the effectiveness of therapy.
Ozone therapy
It is an adjuvant treatment for cancer and is safe, non-toxic and painless. The principle of action is to increase the oxygen content in the blood, which improves the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemo- and radiotherapy.

Cancer Microsphere Intervention
In this treatment option, chemical preparations in the form of nanoparticles are used, which are installed in capillary vessels that deliver blood to the tumor. Together with the blood, the drug passes into the affected cells and destroys them. It is important to note that the dose of the medicine is minimal and it is tightly sealed in the nanoparticle, so that it can not affect other vessels and healthy tissues.
Photodynamic therapy
The patient is injected with a drug called photosensitizer or photopolymerizing sensitizer that kills cancer cells under certain types of light without affecting healthy tissue. It is used in the treatment of cancer of the digestive organs, stomach, bladder, colorectal cancer, epipharynx, and melanoma.

Microwave hyperthermia
With the help of a wave with a high penetrating power, radiation is delivered to the tumor, which heats the necessary part of the body to 41 ° C - 43 ° C. In this case, healthy cells survive, and cancer cells die, as they are less resistant to temperature increase. Microwave therapy stimulates the immune system, which increases the effectiveness of the fight against the disease.
Brachytherapy
The form of radiotherapy, in which the source of radiation is placed inside the tumor. Brachytherapy allows the patient to recover in a shorter time and with minimal risks. Implantation takes up to 1 hour and patients can often go home on the same day.
Cryosurgical ablation (CSA)
Affects the tumor by alternating cycles of freezing and defrosting, which destroys the cancerous cells. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, the procedure is performed through endoscopic, intraoperative or transdermal ways. So far, the doctors of Fuda Clinic have performed more than 10,000 cryosurgical operations. They are #1 in the world not only in number of performed procedures, but also in the amount of cancer types treated this way. CSA is used to treat tumours of liver, lungs, pancreas, prostate, breast and soft tissue. The achievements of the Fouda Clinic in this field have been highly appreciated by the WHO and have also received several international awards.
Combined immunotherapy (CIC)
Doctors of Fuda use immunotherapy to stimulate the patient's own immune system in the fight against cancer. Since cancer cells mutate, immunological treatment is adjusted accordingly. The combined form of this therapy involves mixing several methods of immune stimulation. This approach allows to inhibit the cancer regardless of its type. It is used in the treatment of various types of cancer at intermediate or advanced stages, relapses of the disease, as well as for their prevention. Guangzhou Fuda Hospital has been practicing HANK since the June of 2015. By 2016, more than 200 cancer patients have received 3-6 immunotherapy courses. Such treatment has shown effectiveness in 80% of cases.
Vaccine Against Cancerous Stem Cells. Radio and chemotherapy are powerless against cancerous stem cells (CSC). Once CSCs are detected and memorized by several lymphocytes, they can search for and eliminate other CSCs, thus providing long-term defence for the body. This technology is called a "CSC vaccine". It was ranked 54th among the 100 best discoveries in the 2012 global scientific world. The Fuda Clinic, in collaboration with the University of Michigan in the USA, has developed and implemented such vaccines for various types of tumors.
TREATMENT COSTS IN THE CENTER OF FUDA IN CHINA
Fuda hospital prices are slightly higher compared to other chinese clinics, as they provide unique protocols of their own creation. Fuda cancer hospital is considered unique as they can offer treatment to patients even in later stages of cancer and their techniques have proved to be effective in improving patient’s life quality and prolonging their life span.
