Important Notes:

  • General Requirements: Age 18‑75 years (varies by therapy), no active infections, no tumor history (unless specified), and adequate organ function.
  • Evaluation: All patients must undergo a pre‑assessment by the designated hospital. Required documents typically include CT, ultrasound, blood tests, liver/kidney function, coagulation profile, tumor markers, and discharge summary (if available).
  • Availability: Some therapies are still in the evaluation phase and may not yet be actively recruiting. Please confirm with the hospital before traveling.
  • Contact: For inquiries or to submit medical records for pre‑assessment, please email us at support@lechengmedical.com.

Disclaimer: All therapies listed are approved for clinical use within the Boao Lecheng Pilot Zone under China’s “pioneering pilot” policy. Prices and indications are subject to change. Final eligibility and treatment plans are determined by the treating hospital’s medical team.
