Cancer is one of the most widespread diseases in the world, and by 2030 it is estimated that the number of new cases will increase by 23.6 million per year. The degree of spread and effects on the body makes the care for prevention and treatment a matter of global interest, with many research centers examining its impact.
Cancer is a collection of over 200 related and unique diseases that require different approaches to diagnosis and treatment. Thus, knowing the symptoms, treatments, and options in the case of diagnosis has become a social responsibility. This condition can spread anywhere in the body and can affect anyone, with symptoms ranging from the most common to the most varied varied:
- Unexplained weight loss
- Changes in skin color
- A persistent cough or saliva with blood
- Change in intestinal habits
- Unexplained bleeding
- Anemia
- Difficult or painful urination
- Sensitivity or swelling of the breast or other parts of the body
- Unexplained pain
- Night Sweats
- Constant indigestion or problems of swallowing
- Feeling weak or tired
Body disturbances are alarm signals, which is why it is recommended to schedule a checkup and a discussion with your doctor to determine the cause of your medical problems. Whether the patient benefits from private health insurance, which gives easy and prompt access to the best diagnosis methods, whether he chooses free medical services, early control can be the saving decision. In the case of cancer diagnosis and according to the spread of the disease and the severity of the situation, the patient is offered a course of treatment:
- Surgery
- Radiation Therapy
- Chemotherapy
- Immunotherapy
- Targeted Therapy
- Hormone Therapy
- Stem Cell Transplant
- Precision Medicine
The progress in medicine is helping patients, but the cost of the procedures often makes them inaccessible. That's why MediHelp International created, together with Lamp Insurance and The New European Surgical Academy, NESACard, which can be accessed on a donation basis of 33 euro per year. NESACard allows the financing of initial medical investigations to obtain support in medical navigation, and second opinion in the case of a cancer diagnosis.
