你是來美國治病的嗎?

美國的癌症治療法一向都享有世界領導地位，大多數癌病新藥或治療法都是在美國本土研究出來的。故此，世界各地的病人會不時到美國的癌症中心尋求治療。ETW明白由外地來到美國治病並不容易，病人及家屬不單止要決定到那一間癌症中心、見那一位醫生，他們亦要面對住宿及交通問題。言語溝通更是他們最大的憂慮；就算他們懂日常英語，一旦談話內容涉及癌症及治療法，溝通便出現大問題。

普通出國 看病的中介公司通常與某些醫院有商業合約，故此不論病情或個案，他們會鼓催病人只到這些醫院或向這位醫生就醫。當病人及家屬到達美國後，這些中介公司只會提供有限度的支援。若病人或家屬不懂英語，很多時候他們不會明白如何向醫生討論病情，亦不懂得如何選擇適合自己的療程。

ETW的宗旨是協助由中國、香港、澳門及其他地區的癌症病人到美國就醫。ETW與其他出國 看病中介公司不同，我們有下列特㸃：

• ETW團隊的專長是癌症治療，能夠為癌症病人及家屬提供專門服務

• 是全國唯一一個可以提供說廣東話的”癌症病人導航員“的服務中心

• 總部鄰近安德森癌症中心 (MD Anderson Cancer Center) ，對中心內的環境及運作都十分了解 
• 沒有與任何癌症中心、醫院或醫生有金錢的利益關係，故能夠為病人提供客觀的建議
• 每一個案件都是由有多年癌症醫藥經驗的美國註冊藥劑師及藥劑學博士主理

Seeking Medical Treatment in the United States

Researchers in the United States have long been seen as the pioneers in the development of novel medical treatment.  In fact, over 95% of new drugs were developed in the U.S.  It is not surprising that thousands of patients from around the world come to the U.S. every year to seek treatment for various diseases.  ETW understands that making the trip from your hometown to the U.S. can be a daunting task.  Not only that you have to determine which doctor to see, you also have to tackle housing, medical supplies, and air and ground transportation.  Communications with the doctor or the medical team also presents a unique challenge. Even if you speak English fluently, the use of medical terminologies or discussion of clinical data associated with various treatments can easily make you feel like you are conversing in a foreign language.

While there are medical travel companies that assist you with travel arrangements, the vast majority of them have a commercial contract with specific hospitals or medical centers.  As such, they are incentivized to send you to a certain doctor or visit a certain hospital regardless of your medical needs.  Not only that, the support and resources that these travel companies offer are limited to housing and transportation.   You are often left to your own devices trying to understand the U.S. medical system, or to dissect any medical information that your doctor provides you.
