Support for patients throughout the ASEAN region

 

Medical Concierge

Icon Cancer Centre Singapore support patients in the Asia Pacific region who are seeking to travel for their cancer treatment. Our strong cohort of specialist doctors work collaboratively to deliver personalised, evidence-based treatment plans for patients.

Our medical concierge service offers care that is sensitive to your needs at what may be a difficult time. Throughout your time with Icon, you will be supported by a companion who will assist from the initial point of contact, during treatment and follow-up.

Servicing patients in Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, our multilingual doctors and medical teams, alongside interpreters when required, are able to care for you in a culturally sensitive and personalised manner. Further to this, they provide assistance with coordinating accommodation, treatment and other required medical appointments.

Under the guidance and advice of our doctors, we offer a medical triage service to facilitate referrals, assist with diagnosis or transition from current care arrangements and help with appropriate medical tests and scans.

We have employed a unique shared-care model that connects patients to cancer treatments and clinicians, while enabling them to access local medical relationships to manage ongoing health, side effects and follow up appointments throughout treatment and beyond. This shared-care model allows patients to access ongoing care close to home and their support network while travelling for the acute part of their treatment.

What is the usual treatment duration?

Initial consultations and investigations usually take 2-3 days depending on what tests are required. Treatment plans are unique and depend on your diagnosis. Some people may require surgery, some chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination of these treatments.

Chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy are given for a few days, weeks or months and some on a long-term basis. Both treatments are given in courses with periods of rest in between, which allow normal cells to recover.

A treatment plan will depend on the type of cancer you have, the way it responds to treatment and your ability to tolerate the treatment. Your doctor will talk to you about the time period planned for your course of treatment.

If I have commenced treatment elsewhere can we still obtain advice and treatment from Icon doctors?

Yes. Face-to-face consultations are required to assess your condition to ensure proper assessment and diagnosis before embarking on any further treatment.
