Proton & heavy-ion therapy
Treatment-planning records and prior imaging translated, a bilingual liaison across simulation, planning, and treatment, long-stay accommodation near the center, and follow-up after each phase.
Conditions & symptoms
Solid tumors, re-irradiation, and other cases we coordinate around
This coordination is for patients dealing with a solid tumor located close to radiation-sensitive organs, or an area previously treated with radiotherapy. We arrange treatment-planning records translation, a bilingual liaison across simulation and treatment, and long-stay accommodation near the center — while every treatment decision stays with your radiation oncologist.
- Solid tumors located close to radiation-sensitive organs
- Locally advanced tumors where photon radiotherapy has limits
- Re-irradiation of an area treated with radiotherapy before
- Prostate, head-and-neck, or lung tumors under physician evaluation
- A radiotherapy plan seeking a particle-therapy opinion
This list describes who this coordination is arranged around — it is not a diagnosis. Whether any procedure suits your condition is decided with your treating physician; MedicCN coordinates the care around it.

Third-party reference figures, not personal quotes. US cash prices are not your out-of-pocket cost after insurance or a UK/European price benchmark. Add MedicCN’s fixed USD 200–500 service fee (including visa fees, airport and hotel transfers, and 24-hour mobile Wi-Fi), the 10–25% medical coordination and bilingual accompaniment fee, accommodation, meals, flights, insurance and possible return visits. Confirm the total in your written plan. The rate depends on treatment type and accompaniment level and is confirmed in writing.
