China is the first country we look at when open surgery is not the answer. In Guangzhou, cancer hospitals treat tumours with cryoablation, NanoKnife and seed implantation — treatments that target the tumour with minimal damage to the rest of the body. If your case is cancer and surgery cannot remove the tumour, this lane is where the conversation starts.
Cancer treatments in China range from about $5,000 for micro-intervention to $25,000 for NanoKnife. Every case gets a hospital-confirmed treatment plan and cost estimate in writing before any booking. If the hospital changes the plan, you approve the change first.
Archon also arranges trip arrangements, accommodation and transportation for patients — in China and in any country. Your contract for treatment is with the hospital, not with us and not with any agent. We coordinate; the hospital treats and bills.
Most destination countries need a medical visa supported by a hospital invitation letter. Our partner hospitals issue the letter once your case is accepted; we guide the paperwork end to end. Timelines run from a few days to two weeks depending on the country. Plan your documents with the visa timeline planner in our tools. For a cancer case, keep recent scans and pathology reports ready — the hospital reviews those first.
Which cancers is China best for?
Cancers where open surgery is not the answer — including liver, lung, and
pancreatic cancers. The treatment option follows the cancer type and stage, so
every case is matched individually before travel is discussed.
What do cryoablation and NanoKnife actually do?
They target the tumour directly with minimal damage to the rest of the body, where
open surgery cannot remove it. Which option fits depends on the tumour and the
hospital's written plan — we never promise an option before the hospital confirms
it.
Do I get the treatment plan before I travel?
Yes. Every case gets a hospital-confirmed treatment plan and cost estimate in
writing before any booking, and you approve any change the hospital makes to the
plan.
