Which cancers are most commonly treated?
Chinese hospitals regularly treat lung, colorectal, gastric, breast, cervical, hepatocellular, and haematological cancers. Some centres have high expertise in less common malignancies — your coordinator will match you to the most appropriate specialist team.
Are the drugs available in China the same as in Europe?
Most major oncology drugs are available, including newer immunotherapy agents (PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors) and targeted therapies. China's NMPA has approved many treatments that are also EMA- or MHRA-approved. Your coordinator will confirm availability of your specific protocol before you travel.
What is the cost of chemotherapy in China vs Europe?
Chemotherapy cycles in China typically cost 40–70% less than equivalent private treatment in the UK or Germany. A full course might run €15,000–€40,000 in China versus €50,000–€120,000 privately in Europe.
