Quotes in 24 hours

Send your reports and we come back with itemised estimates from two or three accredited hospitals.

Meet the surgeon first

A video call with the person who would actually operate, before you commit to flying anywhere.

You pay the hospital

Directly, into their own account. We never handle your treatment money.

We will not pretend to know what your treatment costs

Cancer is the one area where a single headline price is meaningless. What you pay depends on the type, the stage, and the protocol your oncologist chooses, and the drug regimen alone can vary tenfold between two people with the same diagnosis.

What we can do is get your reports in front of the right specialists quickly and come back with itemised estimates from two or three centres, usually within 48 hours for complex cases.

Start with a second opinion

For cancer more than anything else we suggest a written second opinion before you commit to travelling. It costs a small fraction of treatment, it can be arranged within days, and it sometimes changes the plan entirely.

Occasionally it confirms that the treatment available where you already are is the right one. We will tell you that when it is true.

What to send us

Your biopsy and histopathology report, staging scans with the original image files rather than printed film, recent blood work, a summary from your current oncologist, and details of any treatment already given including drug names and dates.

How complete that is determines whether you get a real estimate or a guess.

How long treatment takes

Surgery alone means three to four weeks in India. A chemotherapy protocol may run for months, and many patients travel back and forth: your medical visa allows three entries, and we plan it around your cycles. Bone marrow transplant usually means two to three months here.

Straight answers

Oncology questions

Can you tell me my chances?

No, and neither can anyone who has not examined you and read your pathology. Your oncologist will discuss prognosis with you. Be sceptical of any company that offers you an outcome.

Is treatment in India as good as at home?

India's leading cancer centres are internationally accredited, use current protocols and have access to most modern agents. Whether it is better than what is available locally depends on where you are and what you need, and we will say so if the honest answer is that you should stay.

Can I bring my scans on a disc?

Yes, and please do. Indian oncologists want the original DICOM files rather than printed images.

Can I continue treatment at home afterwards?

Usually. We make sure you leave with a full discharge summary, protocol details and imaging so your own doctor can carry on.

No cost, no obligation

Tell us what's happening

A hospital cannot price your treatment without seeing your case. Send what you have, even a photograph of a piece of paper, and we will tell you what else is needed.

  • Your reports go only to hospitals you approve first, by name.
  • Stored encrypted, and deleted whenever you ask.
  • You pay the hospital directly. Never us.

Send your reports

A hospital cannot price your treatment without seeing your reports. Send them and we come back with itemised estimates from two or three hospitals — usually within 24 hours, or 48 for transplant and complex oncology.

This is how we will reach you. Include the country code.
Photographs of paper reports are fine. Scans on CD are best sent as the original image files. Stored encrypted, shared only with hospitals you approve.

We reply within about 15 minutes on WhatsApp during our covered hours. Read what we do with your data — we never sell it, and you can have it deleted at any time.
