PATIENT STORY
Rustam, Tajikistan
【Patient profile】 Rustam, 61 years old, partner of a trading company in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, with a long history of smoking.
【Predicaments before coming to China】
The patient was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma, stage IIIA) in the middle lobe of the right lung, with mediastinal lymph node metastasis. Tajikistan only offers traditional chemotherapy regimens; there is no mature gene testing system or targeted precision treatment. Treatment in Turkey is estimated to cost over US$55,000, with a long waiting period and low efficiency.
【The decision-making process of choosing Trisana Medguide】
According to the Dushanbe Chinese Enterprises Chamber of Commerce, Trisana Medguide completed the following within 4 days:
- Russian/Tajik medical record translation, digital scanning of pathology slides
- Remote MDT (Multidisciplinary Team) Initial Screening Consultation by Oncology Experts at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital
- Personalized genetic testing plans, precision treatment pathways, and comprehensive cost estimates

【Customer testimonials (anonymous quote)】
"In Dushanbe, I was told that I could only receive traditional chemotherapy. Trisana Medguide allowed me to use the latest international precision targeted therapy, and the radiotherapy had almost no side effects. When I returned to China for a follow-up examination, the local doctors could hardly believe how well it worked."
