The registry of the polyclinic of the Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology is the “hottest” place. Very long queues are understandable, after all, the Federal Center, patients come from all over the country. The workload of front desk workers is enormous. But you understand us patients. It is also not easy for us to spend time in line at the registration desk for 4 or even 7 hours. The situation is very difficult, I don’t know how sick people can stand it. And the receptionists are very different, I'll tell you. On October 15 this year at the terminal, I took a ticket for a consultation with a specialist, and after waiting in line for 4 (!) Hours, I went to window No. 10. I had in my hands a referral from the attending physician for a consultation with a specialist and a patient's passport. The receptionist asked me for the patient’s medical record (I’ll immediately note that in many places of the clinic, reminders are placed in a conspicuous place that the patient’s medical record is the property of the Blokhin National Medical Research Center!). I replied that I did not know where the map was. And this is logical, because this is the property of the NMIC, therefore, the employees of this institution should know where the patient's medical record is located! After looking at the computer, I was told where the map was, and I was sent there. I tried to object, saying that we had previously been issued a coupon for a consultation without a medical card in the direction of the attending physician. I was told that they have new rules every day. At the same time, the employee advised me to look for a map, and then go to it without a queue. I do not know the name of this employee, since she did not have a badge. Yes, she was not rude to me, but just calmly drove me for another two hours! Finally, I found a card from the attending physician, it is in my hands (And now it is no longer the property of the NMIC, because I can just take it home). The receptionist began to examine the medical record and found that there was no record of the attending physician about the referral of the patient to another specialist (at the same time, we have a coupon-referral of the attending physician for a consultation). Of course, I replied that it was not in my competence to check the records of the attending physician. So my opponent advised me to go to the attending physician and ask her to correct her oversight by making a note about the referral to a specialist. I have already begun to ask for a paid consultation, but no, and you can’t get a paid consultation without the attending physician’s entry in the patient’s medical record. What is this called? And it's simply called bullying! It is good that some patients have someone to take a hit from such employees of the NMIC, as in our case. The patient would not have survived! It all ended with me just going to another registry window and there, without any medical records, they issued me a referral for a consultation with a specialist in the direction of the attending physician. And it was done in just half a minute. But on the 10th window of the registry on October 15, 2019, I spent 7 hours of personal time! I'm talking to the management of the clinic. Monitor [...] the condition and adequacy of some of your employees. We have enough grief without them.

Why do many cancer patients go abroad for treatment? Why is cancer treatment not in Moscow and other cities of Russia, but in Israel, Germany, Switzerland becoming more and more in demand?

Here are the main reasons why cancer patients choose cancer treatment abroad:

1. In Russia, the ratio of the mortality rate to the incidence rate for this moment continues to be consistently high. It is higher than in all European countries for almost all types of oncological diseases (for example, in Israel after treatment, 80% of patients recover completely).

1. Abroad, the responsibility of a doctor is strictly regulated, and thus the possibility of corruption, abuse, misinformation and professional failure is practically reduced to zero.

1. In most foreign centers, those operations that are considered exclusive in Russia, practically worked out and put on stream. Therefore, the guarantee of a successful result is several orders of magnitude higher.

1. In the USA, Israel, Germany and other European countries, the approach to cancer treatment is completely different - therefore, the results of treatment are incomparably better. The essence of this approach is personalized medicine: the treatment protocol is based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's body condition and the course of the disease, and not on generally accepted schemes, as is currently being done almost everywhere in Russia. Personalized medicine works for effective treatment, increasing the duration and improving the quality of life of the patient. While this approach is practiced in Russia only pointwise- Patients will go abroad for treatment.

1. In most cases in Russia, the patient can't get urgent highly qualified assistance which is often life-saving.

1. Lack of transparency of the financial side of treatment, the lack of confidence in what exactly the patient will receive for a certain amount of money.

1. Too much role in the provision of medical services is played by the subjective factor. Blurred the scope of doctor's responsibility for treatment: you can encounter both conscientious and not conscientious specialists within the same medical institution.

1. Abroad, things are much better with the use of high technologies and the latest high-quality equipment in the treatment of cancer patients. High competition and financial participation of the state (for example, in Israel the development of the medical industry is considered a priority) allows maintaining the equipment of clinics at the highest level, conducting research and promptly introducing the latest developments in medical and rehabilitation practice.

1. The level of training of specialists(including those who work on modern complex equipment) generally much weaker than abroad, where clinics have the opportunity to invest heavily in the training of highly qualified personnel.

IMPORTANT: often the cost of cancer treatment in private clinics in Moscow and in foreign clinics is PRACTICALLY THE SAME.

As a rule, Germany, Austria, the USA and Israel are chosen for cancer treatment abroad. Israel leads in terms of the number of tourists from Russian-speaking countries, since such parameters as value for money, as well as geographical proximity and the absence of a visa regime are often decisive.

The rating of Moscow cancer centers is determined by the quality of treatment, which directly depends on the accuracy and efficiency of diagnostics, the qualifications of oncologists, the equipment used, and the introduction of advanced technologies and methods. Equally important is the competent organization of the treatment process and an integrated (multidisciplinary) approach.

It needs to be clarified that official rating There are no best oncology clinics in Moscow, because, firstly, their number is limited, and, secondly, the professionalism of doctors and the effectiveness of treatment are difficult to compare for a number of objective reasons.

So, for example, the capital's cancer centers are equipped with radiotherapy and radiosurgical units. various types. In some cases, optimal results can be achieved with the help of local high-dose irradiation with the CyberKnife, in others with irradiation with modern systems for conformal radiotherapy such as TrueBeam or Clinac 600B.

At the same time, TrueBeam can be used for both radiosurgery and low-dose RT. Thus, with some types of tumors, it is better to contact Sofia, with others - to Oncostop or Medscan.RF. It is very important to take into account the main specialization of oncologists. For example, an extra-class specialist in the field of prostate cancer treatment may have only general ideas about the features of oncotherapy in patients with brain tumors.

Therefore, it is more correct to make a decision on the issue of applying to a particular medical center not on the basis of a very conditional rating of oncological clinics in Moscow and the Moscow region, but taking into account specialization, professional competence and practical experience of the doctor to whom you will initially get.

Location of centers on the map

Private center or public hospital: where is the best treatment in the capital

Highly qualified oncologists of various profiles work in both public and private centers. First of all, this applies to oncosurgery, since this area least of all needs expensive innovative medicines, equipment and technologies. As for radiation and drug therapy, the possibilities of clinics providing oncology treatment in Moscow on a paid basis are much higher. Since the private medical center does not depend on state funding, its management can independently decide on the purchase of diagnostic and therapeutic systems, drugs for chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and hormone therapy. This allows doctors to use the most advanced techniques and medicines working in strict accordance with international standards.

Moreover, thanks to the introduction of modern methods and protocols, in terms of the possibilities and results of cancer treatment in Moscow, non-state sector clinics are practically in no way inferior to cancer centers in Israel, Germany and other countries with a high level of oncological care.

Of course, there are certain problems in paid clinics, but managers find ways to solve them. Thus, Medscan.RF does not have a surgical unit, so patients in need of this type of assistance are referred for operations to leading specialized oncosurgeons in other medical institutions. Oncostop does not have its own diagnostic service, however, direct cooperation with the Russian Cancer Center on a contractual basis allows specialists of the private cancer center to conduct additional examinations at the Blokhin Institute, if necessary.
