🥹 Russian citizens will be able to receive new high-tech cancer treatment for free
Important news for cancer patients: innovative therapy methods that were previously only available for a fee or as part of clinical trials have been included in the compulsory health insurance (CHI) program.
🏥 How to get treatment:
✅ Treatment is available under the CHI policy for Russian citizens with medical indications.
✅ A referral is issued by the attending oncologist after diagnosis confirmation.
✅ Drug costs are covered by the Federal CHI Fund.
✅ Therapy is provided in specialized medical centers licensed to provide high-tech care.
🎯 What is included in the CHI program:
🔹 Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines - drugs developed individually for each patient that "train" their immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells.
🔹 Peptide vaccine "Oncopept" - used to treat metastatic colorectal cancer.
🔹 CAR-T cell therapy - an immunotherapy method where the patient's own T-lymphocytes are genetically modified to precisely recognize and destroy cancer cells. Particularly effective for leukemias and lymphomas.
The first patient in Russia received a personalized mRNA vaccine for melanoma in April 2026.
Implementation is phased: a pilot in 2026, with subsequent expansion of availability)
