Targeted Therapy
Overview
A precision medicine that homes in on the specific genetic changes driving your cancer, leaving healthy cells largely untouched. Our partner hospitals deliver targeted therapy using internationally recognised protocols, latest-generation equipment, and surgeons with extensive experience — many internationally trained. Cancer treatment in Australia involves significant out-of-pocket costs even with Medicare; novel therapies often unsubsidised. Private waits for chemo initiation: 2–6 weeks. Through Earth Abroad's partner network in India, the same targeted therapy is available from $2,200 — at a fraction of Australian self-funded cost — in JCI-accredited facilities with care quality matching or exceeding Australian standards.
