Question 04: What is the step-by-step procedure for coming to Fuda Cancer Hospital?
Worried about traveling overseas for treatment? Don't be. To date, we have treated thousands of patients from abroad, including many from Western Europe. We have a service team stand by 24 hours to help you with translation, visa, air tickets, transport, accommodation and other requests from you.
Step 1: Learn more about our hospital, our services, and our reputation by going through our website, FAQ, and by downloading our information brochure.
Step 2: Contact us at consultation@fudahospital.com. Please share with us the patient's diagnosis and stage of cancer, medical reports, treatment history and dates, and description of the patient's condition (level of pain, any breathing, walking and eating difficulty). With those information, we can review and promptly provide you with a reply, usually within 24 hours.
Step 3: After receiving your treatment recommendation, you may discuss it with your family.
Step 4: The next step is to provide us with your full names and passport numbers of each person who plans to come to FUDA. Please be sure to note the patient's name. We will provide you with a visa invitation letter for you to process visa. You would have your visa in about 3-4 business days.
Step 5: Once you have your visas, please purchase your tickets to Guangzhou International Airport (airport code: CAN). When you have your confirmed flight information, please email us your itinerary including flight number, arrival date and time, and total number of people arriving. Please bring your previous medical records with you. Upon arrival, FUDA will pick you up at the airport.
Question 05: How much does treatment cost?
It depends. Medical cost needs to be discussed thoroughly with patient and his/her family. It is specific to a patient's condition and needs. By contacting us and providing detailed medical information, you will learn how we can help you.
Question 06: How do I pay for treatment?
While some cancer centers require an upfront payment, we at FUDA realize that paying for treatment is not always quite so easy or quite so fast. At FUDA, we have a pay-as-you-go system. Upon registration, you will be asked to deposit an certain amount. Daily expenses (tests, medicine, etc.) are deducted from this deposit. You will receive a daily invoice as well, so that you can check the expenses incurred on that day. When your account balance runs low, you will be notified to make another deposit. You can pay by cash, bank transfer, or credit card.
Question 07: How long does the treatment last?
Most patients are able to complete their treatment in approximately one month. In some cases, depending on the needs and condition of the patient, treatment requires 5-6 weeks.

Question 11: Does Fuda offer cancer-screening services?
Yes. Cancer screening is an important way to detect cancer in early stage for high-risk populations. You are considered "high-risk" if you or your family has a proven history of cancer. Cancer screening may not prevent cancer, but the importance of early detection cannot be overstated. Detecting cancer early not only gives you more treatment options, but also greatly increases your chances of full recovery, or at least a positive outcome.
