For decades, cancer research and potential therapies for dozens of types of cancer have been aimed at identifying the cause of the  abnormal or mutant cell growth that results in cancerous growth. Researchers have been studying how to kill cancer growth without severely damaging other tissues and organs in the body surrounding a tumor and look for ways to reduce sometimes devastating side effects.

Every day, new therapies and drugs under study for cancers ranging from breast, lung, prostate and brain are undergoing clinical trials throughout the world. Unfortunately, the costs associated with treating cancer are astronomical. Sadly, many patients declined medication due to expense.

The good news is that cancer treatment abroad gives you a choice of the best cancer treatment hospitals in Mexico, or the best cancer specialists in Turkey. Affordable cancer treatment in India, as well as Jordan, Spain, Germany and the Ukraine are viable choices today, for not only Americans but also natives from other countries seeking high quality yet affordable cancer care.

For example, cancer treatment abroad offers both traditional and alternative methods for cancer treatment, or you can combine  both. Locations such as the Indus Valley Ayurveda Center in Mysore, India offers a traditional approach to therapeutic cancer treatments while the Memorial Hizmet Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey offers the latest in cancer treatment technologies and drugs.

Stem cell treatments for cancer are another viable option for many, with locations such as Bio Care Hospital and Health Center in  Mexico or the EmCell Clinic in Kiev, Ukraine offering affordable and effective treatments to reduce symptoms and provide increased quality of life for their patients.
