Comprehensive childhood cancer treatment spanning acute leukemia, brain tumors, Wilms tumor (nephroblastoma), and neuroblastoma — delivered by dedicated pediatric oncology teams using the latest international protocols. Traveling abroad unlocks access to multidisciplinary tumor boards, precision diagnostics, and targeted therapies unavailable in many home countries.
Your case is matched to a centre on the basis of clinical outcome data, not marketing. We coordinate every step — from pre-operative work-up to post-treatment follow-up — with a dedicated care coordinator.

This treatment category covers several different operations with different levels of invasiveness, recovery times, and costs. The country averages above blend all of them together — use the breakdown below for a more realistic, procedure-specific estimate.
A multi-cycle course of anti-cancer drugs tailored to the child's specific cancer type and protocol (for example induction, consolidation, and maintenance phases for leukemia) — a structured programme delivered over weeks to months or longer, not a single treatment.
Typical recovery · Weeks to 2+ years (protocol-dependent)
Course length depends entirely on cancer type and protocol — acute leukemia induction typically runs 4–6 weeks, with consolidation and maintenance phases extending treatment to months or, for some leukemia protocols, up to two to three years; most cycles are outpatient with periodic short inpatient stays for high-dose cycles or for fever/low blood counts.

Diseased or cancerous bone marrow is replaced with healthy blood-forming stem cells from the child, a matched donor, or cord blood, following high-dose conditioning chemotherapy to prepare the body to accept the new cells. More procedure-specific detail on donor matching, transplant types, and engraftment timelines is covered on our dedicated bone marrow transplant page.
Typical recovery · 4–6 week hospital stay
Requires isolation in a specialized transplant unit for roughly 4–6 weeks while the new marrow engrafts and blood counts recover; families should plan for 2–4 months in-country overall to allow for early post-transplant monitoring before travel home.

Surgical removal of a brain tumor (such as medulloblastoma or another pediatric CNS tumor), performed by a pediatric neurosurgical team using intraoperative imaging and neuromonitoring to remove as much tumor as safely possible while protecting surrounding brain tissue. More procedure-specific detail is covered on our dedicated brain tumor surgery page.
Typical recovery · 7–14 day hospital stay
Typically involves 5–10 days of PICU/neuro-ICU monitoring after surgery followed by a few days on the general ward before discharge; many pediatric brain tumors also require follow-up chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy once the surgical site has healed.

A course of targeted radiation (conventional IMRT or, at specialized centers, proton beam therapy) delivered in daily fractions over several weeks to destroy remaining cancer cells after surgery or chemotherapy, or to treat a tumor directly. Proton therapy is increasingly favored for children because it spares more of the surrounding developing tissue than conventional radiation.
Typical recovery · 3–7 week course
Delivered as a course of roughly 15–35 daily outpatient sessions over three to seven weeks; young children may need brief sedation for each session to stay still, and most tolerate the course without an extended hospital stay, though fatigue and localized side effects are common toward the end of the course.

Yes — this is a common and well-managed arrangement. The hospital abroad will provide a full treatment protocol document (chemotherapy regimen, dosing schedule, and supportive care plan) that your oncologist at home can follow. Many families complete the initial intensive phase (induction chemotherapy or surgery) abroad where costs are lower, then continue maintenance therapy locally. Our coordinators facilitate a hand-off call between the treating oncologist abroad and your home physician to ensure continuity of care.
No fees. No commitment.
We are compensated by our partner hospitals — never by patients. You get independent clinical matching, cost transparency, and end-to-end coordination at no cost to you.
