Best Glioma Removal Clinics Abroad

Glioma refers to the brain and spinal cord tumors that arise from glial cells. There are three types of glioma-Astrocytomas, Ependymomas, Oligodendrogliomas. Gliomas may also infiltrate the brain tissues causing brain damage.

Glioma can be diagnosed through biopsy and MRI. Treatment of glioma includes radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical resection of tumors. The average survival time of patients due to glioma ranges between 12-18 months. Gliomas can also be removed minimally invasively through keyhole procedures as well.

How much does glioma removal surgery cost?

The price for brain glioma removal differs based on the selected country & clinic, and also depends on the type of treatment, which is prescribed on an individual basis. On average, tumor removal in Germany, Spain, and Israel will cost a patient 30-40% more than in clinics in Poland, South Korea, and Turkey. At the same time, the quality of medical services will be equally high. Estimated prices for glioma removal:

COUNTRY COST
Turkey from $ 15,800
South Korea from $ 17,000
Poland from € 17,000
Spain from € 25,500
Germany from € 26,000
Israel from $ 30,000

My daughter was twelve months old when we noticed unusual symptoms and body movements in her. We had no family history of autism, but I had sufficient knowledge about this condition. We took her to a doctor at Teknon Medical Center and discussed her symptoms. The doctor started ABA therapy for her, and it worked well. Now she is three years old, and 70% of her symptoms have been reduced. Thanks to her amazing doctor.

I got my tumor removed at Quironsalud Teknon Medical Center. Although it was a benign tumor, I was extremely worried, but the doctors at Teknon Medical Center made everything easy. I had to undergo two sessions of radiation therapy, but I am glad to announce that the tumor is gone. I am extremely grateful to ClinicsonCall for connecting me to Teknon Medical Center.

I recently had a PET MRI Scan at Teknon Medical Center, and I must say that the experience was surprisingly comfortable. From the moment I walked in, the staff made sure I felt at ease, taking the time to explain the procedure and address any concerns. The technicians were incredibly patient and understanding, making sure I was comfortable before starting the scan. The facility itself was clean and well-maintained, contributing to an overall positive experience. I appreciate the care I received at Teknon Medical Center during my scan.

My son was born with scoliosis, and his hunched back deprived him of many activities that a normal kid would do. We started searching for the treatment, but it was unavailable in our country. We decided to search abroad and found out about clinics on call through a friend. We were set up with their coordinator, who suggested we consult Dr. Bartolme Oliver. We did a thorough research on the Internet and decided to visit him. Fortunately, the doctor said it was possible to correct the scoliosis for which he did the surgery. We stayed in Spain for six months, which was worth it. Dr. Oliver was very supportive and helpful throughout our journey.

After neurosurgeons in my home country discovered I had a brain tumor, I was devastated. Thankfully, it was benign, and the doctor recommended surgical treatment. However, I wanted a second opinion and decided to travel abroad for it. I selected Germany, picked Charite University Hospital, and got a consultation with Prof. Dr. Peter Vajkoczy. He is an amazing doctor and suggested an alternative approach to radiosurgery. The procedure went well, and my tumor has shrunk. I am extremely grateful I turned to Dr. Peter, It was truly my best decision. He is the best neurosurgeon in Europe who is not only skilled but compassionate, too.

Dr. Uriel Wald at Assuta Hospital treated my brain cyst through his skills and experience.

Treatment of cavernoma at the Assuta clinic was a big milestone for me. Despite the excitement, the clinic staff and especially my attending physician showed complete understanding and professionalism. A clear treatment strategy was developed from the outset, including detailed discussion of surgery. The entire procedure, including the postoperative period, was well organized. Thanks to this approach and the quality work of the doctors, my recovery was quick and I was able to return to normal life without a long rehabilitation period.

My experience with astrocytoma treatment at the Assuta clinic was mixed. On the one hand, the medical equipment and technology they had was modern, and I felt that I was in good hands in terms of the technical aspects of the treatment. However, I encountered problems communicating with some members of the medical staff. I felt that information about my condition or decisions about my treatment were sometimes not explained enough to me, which caused me additional stress. There were also moments when the organizational side (making appointments, waiting for test results) left much to be desired. Despite this, the treatment itself was successful and I am grateful for the level of professionalism of the doctors, especially during the operation. Overall, I'm pleased with the results, although the process was not without its challenges.

I have been living with a cavernoma of the brain for 7 years. At first, I was treated with drugs that relieve the symptoms. But lately, they have stopped helping. Doctors recommended surgery, but in Russia, they did not agree to perform it, since the optic nerve was nearby. My friends in South Korea showed my pictures to doctors in their city and they suggested specialists who would definitely be able to remove my cavernoma. So I got to the Anam clinic, where I was operated on. Now I'm at home recovering. Everything went well, for which I will never tire of thanking the neurosurgeons of the hospital!.

I did not have much confidence in neurosurgeons in my country, so I considered the treatment of astrocytoma in the near abroad. In Germany, I would not have afforded the cost, so I considered the Czech Republic. I opted for the Motol clinic. My friends described it to me as one of the top clinics in the country. In general, I was satisfied with the treatment. The operation was successful, all the problems that the tumor provoked have now been resolved.

I gave birth to my daughter at American Hospital Istanbul. It was an emergency, and I was terrified. Dr. Abru Alper attended to my case and delivered my baby girl. She was a very experienced gynecologist and helped me get through that phase.

I recently had the privilege of undergoing MOCA Microsurgery, and I could not be more impressed with the exceptional care I received. From the moment I stepped into the American Hospital Istanbul, the staff greeted me with warmth and professionalism. The surgeon, in particular, was highly skilled and took the time to explain the procedure in detail, alleviating any anxieties I had. The surgery was a remarkable success, and the minimally invasive approach allowed for a surprisingly quick recovery. The postoperative follow-up was thorough, and the team was genuinely invested in my well-being. I am incredibly grateful for my remarkable experience with MOCA Microsurgery, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone needing top-notch surgical care.

Removal of glioma

A glioma is a group of tumors of the nervous system, which is both malignant and benign. A similar tumor is formed from glial cells that are part of the brain tissue, surrounding its nerve cells and helping them to function.

The main treatment for this disease is usually surgical or radiosurgical removal of the tumor, & surgery in combination with chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Diagnostics before removal of glioma

Before the operation to remove the brain glioma, the patient undergoes diagnostic procedures, such as:

  • laboratory tests;
  • consultation with a neurologist, during which the doctor checks vision, hearing, reflexes, coordination.
  • Detection of abnormalities can tell in which part of the brain the tumor is localized;
  • MRI / CT with contrast;
  • PET-CT with methionine;
  • scintigraphy, angiography.

Besides the above studies, a biopsy is possible, the performance of which depends on the tumor location. A biopsy is performed with a special needle to remove the glioma.

In the case of a hard-to-reach tumor, a stereotaxic biopsy is performed in foreign clinics, which takes place under the control of CT or MRI machines. A biopsy allows you to determine the malignancy or benignity of glioma, its stage and helps specialists plan the course of the operation.

Removal of brain glioma

The choice of treatment depends on the type, size, stage, location of the glioma, as well as the age and general health of the patient. In addition to surgical methods for removing glioma, foreign clinics use radio, targeted, and chemotherapy. Such methods of treatment are relevant both when removing a brain glioma and when removing a glioma of a chiasm or frontal lobe.

Surgical method for removing brain glioma

In most cases, the first step in treating glioma is surgery to remove it, for example, if the tumor is small and can be safely separated from healthy brain tissue.

During the operation, the removed tumor cells are analyzed, and the results are immediately passed on to the surgeon, who then decides how much tissue needs to be removed. In addition, during surgery abroad, assistive technologies (intraoperative MRI, laser) are often used, which help to preserve as much healthy brain tissue as possible.

Like any surgery, surgical removal of a tumor has its risks. These include possible bleeding, infections, and dysfunctions depending on the location of the glioma. For example, if optic nerve glioma is removed, there are risks of loss of vision.

Removal of glioma with radiotherapy

Radiation therapy is often used after surgical removal of the tumor, especially for advanced gliomas. Radiotherapy options are selected depending on the type of glioma and its stage. In addition, there are several types of radiosurgical devices abroad, with the help of which radiation therapy is carried out, for example, the LINAC linear accelerator or the Gamma-Knife, Cyber-knife installations.

There are several types of radiation therapy for brain gliomas:

  1. intensively modulated and 3D conformal radiation therapy - allow planning the course of irradiation and dosage of radiation;
  2. proton radiation therapy is a high-precision method of irradiating tumor tissue that does not damage the surrounding brain tissue. This method is often used to remove glioma in children;
  3. stereotactic radiation therapy - removal of glioma using several beams of radiation, which can neutralize tumor cells as closely as possible to the edges of the tumor.

There are also side effects from the use of radiation therapy, which depend on the dosage and type of radiation received. Generally, after the procedure, patients may experience fatigue, headache, or scalp irritation.

Rehabilitation after removal of brain glioma

Brain tumors can form in different parts of the brain that are responsible for thinking, speaking, seeing, or locomotion, so rehabilitation is an important part of a patient's recovery. In some cases, physical therapy is relevant, which helps patients restore motor function or muscle tone.

If you have problems with speech, you will need the help of a speech therapist, and for school-age children, training will be relevant that will help to cope with changes in thinking or memory after the removal of brain glioma. In foreign clinics, rehabilitation is given special attention, and recovery programs are selected in each case.

Where can I have surgery to remove glioma?

Many foreign clinics offer their help in the treatment of brain glioma. One of the main differences in the treatment of this type of tumor abroad is the extensive experience of neurosurgeons and radiologists, as well as the technical equipment of clinics.

In most cases, operations abroad are performed without craniotomy, and the incisions for access to the tumor do not exceed one centimeter. Minimally invasive techniques reduce the risks of negative consequences after surgery and shorten the rehabilitation period.

Reviews about glioma removal

David, USA:
Discovering I had a glioma was a terrifying moment for me and my family. For my treatment, my family took me to Prof. Dr. Shlomi Constantini at Ichilov Hospital. The doctor's positive attitude gave us hope. His clear communication and treatment plan not only helped in my treatment process but also helped me emotionally. Under his guidance, I faced the challenges of glioma with great strength. I highly recommend him to everyone. 

Glioma Removal | Solingen Clinic
Angeline Smith, Mexico:
  I had my glioma treatment from Dr. Ralf Buhl at Solingen Clinic. Although I wanted to have treatment in Mexico for my ease, I decided not to compromise on my health. Initially, I was susceptible to my decision, but Dr. Ralf Buhl ensured I made the right choice. He was very supportive and attentive and addressed my concerns. He performed endoscopic surgery to treat glioma. The surgery went well, and I have recovered from the disease.
