Before and After  Pictures
"Once again I want to express my deep gratitude to Katerina and Darya for all that they have done for my son and me !!!
The clinic has a very good atmosphere, despite the fact that it is a hospital. Stay in this clinic can be compared with a sanatorium. The doctors are qualified, they explain everything in detail, they are treated with respect. The chamber is very comfortable, beautiful view from the window, which helps to switch a little from the disease. There is wi-fi in the ward, which is very important for foreign patients, since you can always contact your relatives without any problems. There is a TV, a fridge, a shower and a toilet in the ward. I am very pleased with the book service, namely Katerina and Daria, as they facilitated all the organizational issues. We picked up the necessary flight at the best price. I was very worried that when we arrived at the airport we would reach the clinic without knowing the language. But bookimed takes care of his patients, we were met by a transfer, brought to the clinic, held to the reception, helped to arrange all the documents. If there were any questions, Daria and Katerina are always in touch and always helped to resolve any issue. I am very pleased with the clinic that bookimed offered us. Cun underwent five operations that were successful and now, every day his son is getting better. My advice to everyone, if you are told in Ukraine that nothing can be done or just watch, do not give in and be sure to contact bookimed to get advice from experienced doctors according to your diagnosis. So, as in Ukraine there are not many devices, without which doctors refuse to perform certain operations. And naturally they do not have the necessary experience in treating certain diagnoses. I used to think how to get advice abroad if I have never been abroad in my life. It turns out everything is very simple, you just need to contact bookimed, and they organize a consultation with the doctor who is needed for you. Once again I want to express my deep gratitude to Katerina and Darya for all that they have done for my son and me !!!

"I thank everyone for saving my kid! And recommend the hospital!"
Neurosurgeon Dr. B.Oliver is a true expert. He has removed a brain tumor in my daughter who is only 4 years old. The tumor was huge and difficult to reach. The doctor is just amazing! Everything is at the highest level. Spanish people are sympathetic and kind, and I've just fallen in love with the nation. I thank everyone for saving my kid! And recommend the hospital!

"I strongly advise everyone to use the services of Bookimed! I am very pleased with the work of Bookimed employees! They do their job perfectly well and at the same time do a noble cause!"
Used the online consultation service of Dr. Bartolomé Oliver. Since I did not want to rely on the opinion of one doctor. I was looking for the opinion of a doctor with another "school", from another country, but at the same time experienced. During the video conference I was provided with a translator. I was able to ask all my questions and received comprehensive answers. I express my gratitude to the staff of the Bookimed portal (especially Ostap Bondarenko) for their promptness. After submitting the application for several hours, I was provided with an online consultation with one of the leading doctors. This is just fantastic! And what a noble thing! I strongly advise everyone to use the services of Bookimed! I am very pleased with the work of Bookimed employees! They do their job perfectly well and at the same time do a noble cause!

FAQ about Brain tumor Treatment in Spain

How to choose the best hospital for a brain tumor?

While choosing the hospital for brain tumor treatment, take into account:

  • Location of the brain tumor hospital. Choose the brain tumor hospital which is faster to reach from your country. It mainly concerns cases when a patient needs an urgent surgical intervention.
  • Neurosurgeon’s qualification. Experienced doctors undergo practice at the world leading medical centers, they have certificates and positive patients’ reviews. Doctors of the best brain tumor treatment centers remove a tumor applying special surgical robot. It provides higher accuracy and shortens rehab period. Pay attention that world-renowned neurosurgeons may ask for a higher fee.
  • Availability of neuronavigation system. It helps a doctor controlling all the movements to decrease the possibility of healthy brain tissues damaging during surgery.
  • The success rate of a brain tumor removal. The brain tumor treatment centers in the world represent high recovery rate and long life expectancy after surgery. So check this info before choosing the brain tumor hospital.

Where are top brain tumor treatment centers located?

The best hospitals for a brain tumor are located in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Germany and Spain are among the best countries to treat brain tumor in Europe. Thailand, South Korea, and India — are top ones in Asia; Turkey — in the Middle East.

These countries offer different prices for the brain tumor treatment, but the quality of therapy remains at about the same level because all procedures are performed according to the strict international treatment protocols. The cost varies due to general price policy within the country and income of local citizens.

How is a brain tumor diagnosed abroad?

Before the development of a treatment plan, doctors appoint diagnostic procedures. Depending on the symptoms and type of a suspected tumor, a specialist may prescribe:

  • blood and urine tests
  • consultation with an ophthalmologist
  • examination of the eyeground
  • MRI (with or without contrast)
  • PET-CT
  • tumor biopsy.

Specialists apply safe biopsy method — brain tumor puncture at the best brain tumor centers. A neurosurgeon receives a sample of tissue using a thin needle. It is inserted through the 3-4 mm incision.

If a patient has already undergone treatment in another hospital and want to get a second medical opinion, it is necessary to show a neurosurgeon all the medical records and MRI-images. You can also have all necessary tests after arrival to the chosen hospital.

How is a brain tumor treated in world's top treatment centers?

Surgical treatment of brain tumor

  • Removal of a brain tumor applying Awake Craniotomy technique

During the surgery, a patient remains conscious and follows neurosurgeon’s recommendations. It allows detecting brain areas which control vital functions of an organism and avoid their damaging. Surgery is conducted under local anesthesia that is why the operation is painless for a patient.

  • Transnasal removal of a tumor

It is used to remove the brain tumor without surgery. A doctor does not make any incision but removes neoplasm through the sinuses.

  • Neuroendoscopy

A tumor is removed through 1.5-2 cm openings in the skull. It reduces injury rate and shortens postoperative rehabilitation. Endoscopic tools penetrate in the distant brain areas which are hard-to-reach while applying other surgical methods. The procedure requires special microsurgical equipment and high degree of neurosurgeon’s skills.

Non-surgical brain tumor treatment

  • Radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery

Among the brain tumor treatment options are CyberKnife and Truebeam with Novalis linear accelerator (state-of-the-art modification of GammaKnife). These systems influence the neoplasm cells with radioactive irradiation and destroy them.

  • Chemotherapy

Except for standard chemotherapy regimen, doctors of the best brain tumor centers apply intracranial chemotherapy for malignant brain tumors. A surgeon places special plates with a drug right in the brain. It reduces side effects and damage to the rest of the organs. Intracranial chemotherapy is considered as a new treatment for brain tumors.

These options are not standard ones. They are appointed individually after a consultation with a doctor.
