Foreign patients come to Beijing Cancer Hospital — 北京大学肿瘤医院 — mostly for GI oncology (gastric, colorectal, hepatobiliary) and breast cancer. You book under the name in your passport, and the hospital does not provide interpreters — in our coordination experience, not even at its international department. China MedPass books the right senior specialist, interprets for you on site and sends an English summary afterwards.

Beijing Cancer Hospital is a Grade 3A (三甲) specialist cancer hospital in Haidian District, Beijing.

Before Your Visit

What to bring

Your original passport — registration is real-name
Previous records in their original language (we translate)
Original imaging files (DICOM), not screenshots
A current medication list with doses
Your insurance card and approval letter, if the insurer is paying

International insurance

Hospitals with an international department can often bill international insurers directly. It depends on your insurer and policy — most mainstream international plans are accepted. Your insurer usually has to approve the visit first, and your deductible and any excluded items remain yours. We check with the hospital before you travel.

Payment

Public hospitals charge before each test or consultation. Hospital fees are passed on at cost with the hospital's receipt; we take no commission from hospitals or doctors.

Emergencies

Outpatient and international clinics are not emergency services. In an emergency in China, call 120 or go straight to a hospital emergency department.

Why Beijing Cancer Hospital Matters

Beijing Cancer Hospital, affiliated with Peking University, is one of China's three most authoritative cancer specialist hospitals. It was the first Chinese centre to formalise multidisciplinary team (MDT) review as routine workflow, and its CLASSIC and RESOLVE trials in gastric adjuvant chemotherapy shaped Asia-Pacific treatment guidelines. Particularly strong in GI cancers (gastric, colorectal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic), breast cancer, lung cancer and lymphoma.

How China MedPass Helps (Typical Pathway)

1
Case review
You share your records (existing imaging, lab results, a short problem summary) in their original language. We translate and summarise them and identify the right department and specialist.
2
Hospital & specialist matching
We match you to the hospital and senior-attending-level specialist whose expertise actually fits your specific clinical question — not a generic outpatient slot.
3
Appointment booking
We secure the appointment, send you a preparation pack covering documents, payment, what to bring, and confirm the bilingual escort schedule.
4
On-site bilingual escort
Your local coordinator meets you at the hospital, handles registration and communication in Mandarin, attends the consultation with you, and makes sure nothing gets lost in translation.
5
Report translation & DICOM collection
We deliver a structured English summary of the hospital's reports plus your DICOM imaging files by secure download, ready for your home doctor.
6
Follow-up coordination
30-day follow-up window — we coordinate clarifications with the hospital, optional physician-to-physician calls, and any additional documentation your home team requests.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Beijing MDT review worth it if my home oncologist already has a plan?

Often yes — especially for GI cancers where Asian trial data dominates the literature. An MDT review can confirm or refine adjuvant chemo choice, restaging timing, and surgical timing. We've seen multiple cases where the review changed treatment plans materially.

Can I get my pathology slides re-reviewed without coming to Beijing?

Yes. We coordinate physical slide shipment (or digital pathology when available) to a senior pathologist at Beijing Cancer Hospital. Re-read report in English, typical turnaround 7-10 business days, coordination from $400.

Do I get the same senior attendings as Chinese VIP patients?

Yes. International patients are routed through the International Medical Center which has access to the same attending-level tumour boards. The senior physicians don't run separate review processes for foreigners.

Will I get an English report?

Yes — every MDT outcome, pathology re-read or imaging review comes with a structured English report including ICD-10 staging codes.

Can you collect my DICOM and pathology files?

Yes. We collect MRI / CT / PET-CT DICOM imaging and arrange digital or physical pathology slide return for your home oncologist.

How much does coordination at Beijing Cancer Hospital cost?

From $250 for imaging; from $400 for a written second opinion / pathology re-read; from $450 for an MDT-coordinated multi-specialty review. Treatment costs (chemo / radiation / surgery) are quoted separately.
