Is it right for me? A 60-second self-check

Answer four questions and we'll tell you which treatments to ask about in the opinion. This points your questions in the right direction; it is not a diagnosis.

Ask this in the opinion

The self-check is guidance, not a diagnosis. The physicians who read your records give the actual assessment in the opinion.

About

We don't start with a hospital. We plan the order of treatment first, then connect you to the right hospital.

With cancer, what fits your stage matters more than which hospital is famous. So we start from your cancer rather than a hospital list, and we give you an opinion before you fly. The opinion comes with three matching hospitals, and if you wish we carry on to booking, treatment and follow-up after you return home.

The opinion comes with three matching hospitals, an itemised estimate, and a clear answer on whether a treatment available only in Korea applies to you. Physicians handle what happens inside the hospital; we handle everything outside it.

The review runs in two stages. First, AI organises the records you upload and shortlists candidate treatments by cross-checking standard guidelines, national statistics and treatments available only in Korea. Then tertiary-hospital physicians read that shortlist and finalise the opinion. AI does not diagnose; it narrows the options, and physicians always make the decision.

Where treatment happens

Cancer care in Korea is delivered by 47 tertiary hospitals. What matters first is the system you are treated in, not the name above the door. Hospital names — three of them — are compared in your opinion.

“(Sample) A real review will appear here”

This slot shows the format. Once our first patient gives consent, it will carry a name (a pseudonym is fine), country, service review and, if they wish, a photo.

Reviews are published only with the patient's consent, and only about the service — interpreting, accommodation, how consultations were handled. Testimonials about treatment outcomes are not published, under Korean medical law (Article 56).
