Cancer Treatment Options, Explained Independently

CancerCareE is not a hospital, not a medical provider. We are an independent platform that helps patients understand treatment options and — only at their explicit request — introduces them to more than one vetted institution.

  • No fee from CancerCareE. If a hospital charges for a consultation, it is stated clearly before any step.
  • Independent information on treatment pathways
  • At your request, we introduce you to two to three vetted institutions
  • All medical decisions made by licensed physicians
How we make money: hospitals pay us a referral percentage. We don't hide it. That's exactly why we list more than one option — and why we sometimes tell you not to travel.

Where Are You in Your Journey?

Three starting points. Pick the one that fits — you can always come back and choose another.

I was just diagnosed

I don't yet know what my options are, or how to read my pathology report.

Start with diagnosis & staging →

My first treatment didn't work

I need to understand what other options exist, and how they compare.

Compare treatment options →

I'm considering treatment abroad

I want to know whether travel makes sense for my case — before spending money.

Quick Answer

CancerCareE is an independent patient information platform. We help patients and families understand treatment abroad options — including whether treatment may be available at or near home — before making any decision. We do not provide medical care, do not diagnose disease, and do not recommend specific treatments. Our role is to organize publicly available information and, only at the patient's request, provide an introduction to the relevant institution for their destination.

An Honest Gate

When We Say "Don't Go"

Most platforms tell you where to go. We also tell you when treatment abroad is not the right next step — and we say it before you spend money. This is not a ranking. It is a set of conditions, with the practical barrier that usually matters most.

China

Makes sense when: the case is a cell therapy (CAR-T, TIL) or a registered trial where China has active research, and eligibility has been confirmed in writing by the treating team.
Does not make sense when: standard treatment is already available locally, or eligibility has not been confirmed in writing.
Practical barrier: medical visa, substantial prepayment, and language support vary by hospital.

USA

Makes sense when: the case needs a newly approved drug or a registered trial not available elsewhere, and insurance or funding has been confirmed.
Does not make sense when: the same standard treatment exists locally, or the cost is uncertain and no funding plan is in place.
Practical barrier: B-2 visa, very high out-of-pocket cost, and insurance that rarely covers non-residents.

India

Makes sense when: the goal is standard oncology care at a lower cost, and the hospital has given a written quote for the specific case.
Does not make sense when: the case needs a therapy that is only available in a research setting, or the quote has not been verified in writing.
Practical barrier: quality varies widely between hospitals, and medical visa processing can take time.

Turkey

Makes sense when: the case is a standard treatment with a shorter travel distance, and the hospital has confirmed the plan and the quote.
Does not make sense when: the case depends on a therapy that is not routinely offered, or travel safety has not been cleared by the treating oncologist.
Practical barrier: language support and interpreter availability vary by hospital; visa rules depend on nationality.

Germany

Makes sense when: the case needs a specific protocol, a formal second opinion, or a trial well matched to the diagnosis.
Does not make sense when: the same standard care is available locally, or the case has not yet been reviewed by a multi-disciplinary team.
Practical barrier: Schengen visa, high cost, and long waiting times for non-urgent reviews.

Clinical Criteria

Is Advanced Cellular Therapy an Option?

Whether a patient is a candidate for CAR-T, TIL, or NK cell therapy depends on the disease type, prior treatments, organ function, and the tumor's molecular profile. The full criteria are maintained on the CAR-T page — we do not repeat them here to avoid clinical drift.

Why We Exist

From Our Founder

Portrait of Reza Abdollahi, Founder and CEO of CancerCareE

I started CancerCareE after seeing how often patients were pushed toward whichever provider paid the most — not whichever was right for them. I won't pretend we have no financial interest: hospitals pay us a percentage when a patient chooses them. That is exactly why we publish our criteria (financial transparency), why we list more than one option, and why we say "don't go" when travel is not the right next step. Trust comes from admitting the conflict, not denying it.

— Reza Abdollahi, Founder, CancerCareE
Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our platform.

What is CancerCareE?
CancerCareE is an independent information and treatment-pathway guidance platform — not a healthcare provider. We help patients understand treatment decisions and, at their explicit request, introduce them to two to three vetted institutions across multiple destinations.
How much does your service cost patients?
There is no fee from CancerCareE. If a hospital charges for a consultation, it is stated clearly before any step. After introduction, we may receive a percentage-based referral fee from the vetted institution the patient chooses; the percentage varies between institutions. Learn more.
Are you a medical tourism company?
No. CancerCareE is an independent information and treatment-pathway guidance platform. We are not a hospital, not a medical provider, and not a medical tourism company.
Can you guarantee treatment outcomes?
No ethical organization can guarantee medical outcomes. We provide transparent, evidence-based information and introductions. All medical decisions are made by licensed physicians.
How many institutions will I be introduced to?
We introduce patients to two to three vetted institutions across global destinations. You decide — we do not pick one for you.
Do you ask for medical records?
No. We do not ask for medical records. If you choose to create a coordination group, you will share your medical file yourself, directly with the hospital team, later.
What happens after I click "See My Options"?
The button opens the Pathway Finder — a few short questions. No medical records are needed. Nothing is sent until you choose to contact us. If you do, we create a private WhatsApp group with you and the institution's international office, and you share your file yourself, later.
