As he thought about his cancer treatment options, Mr. Zong knew he wanted to interact with leading experts that would take all of his needs and questions into account. He found the type of personal care he was looking for at Mass Medical International.
Mr. Zong was diagnosed with bladder and prostate cancer two years ago in China. After receiving resection surgery and proper treatment, his condition was not improving, but instead grew worse and increased Mr. Zong’s pain. Even worse, a few days after the surgery, Mr. Zong's prostate cancer metastasized into his bones. The news was devastating for both Mr. Zong and his family as they were looking for other available options. Mr. Zong’s team of physicians tried different treatments but Mr. Zong's condition was not ameliorated, and his blood count kept dropping. Mr. Zong’s family discovered Mass Medical International through its online platform and contacted the company through its hotline immediately for a consultation.
Immediately, MMI collected, translated, and submitted Mr. Zong’s case to a leading prostate cancer specialist from one of the best hospitals in Boston to arrange a second consultation. During the video consultation, MMI's team provided a 45-minute peer-to-peer video call with Mr. Zong’s physician, his family, and the oncology specialist. The oncology specialist gave an overall patient review and answered all questions one by one with a detailed translation by MMI's medical case manager. The oncology specialist also gave the second opinion and specific instructions on his treatment plan in China. To conclude, the consultation summary was successfully delivered to both the patient and his physician as a treatment reference for the future. Mr. Zong and his physician were very satisfied with MMI’s services and how Mass Medical International was able to make the process as simple and as pleasant as possible.
One month later, Mass Medical International received positive feedback from the patient’s daughter. After medication adjustment, Mr. Zong’s PSA dropped to 180 from 600 and his ECOG performance status improved from 4 to 3. He started moving around the apartment, and his condition improved. Mr. Zong’s family and his physicians were happy to see the positive change, and MMI looks forward to monitoring his continued care.
