Normally, the greater part of your hospitalisation costs will be paid by your mutual health insurance, provided your payments are up to date.  If a hospitalisation is scheduled we advise you to contact your insurer (other than the mutual) to find out more about what is covered.   If your compulsory health insurance is not in order or you do not have Belgian nationality, unless you can show proof that the costs are covered you will have to pay the full amount of the medical costs. You will receive an estimate of the expected costs prior to your hospitalisation and will be asked to make payment before admission. This does not apply in the case of a medical emergency.  The choice of room you make at the time of admission will determine the rate.  You have two choices: A shared room or a single room. A single room is a private room in which you will be alone. Choosing for such a room necessarily brings additional costs.  Please note: If documents (certificates, medical testimonials, private insurance documents, etc.) have to be filled out by the unit doctor, please submit these to the medical secretariat at the beginning of your hospital stay so that they can be ready on the day of your discharge at the latest. Prepare your papers before hospitalisation

16 October 2023 – After London and Hong Kong, it is the turn of the Erasmus Hospital to carry out the first endoscopic microwave ablation of a lung cancer in Belgium. Four lesions in three patients have already benefitted from this innovative and non-invasive treatment for lung cancer. New progress combining diagnosis and treatment that is of potential benefit to patients being treated for lung cancer.  Innovative treatment Professors Benjamin Bondue, pneumologist and clinic director, and Dimitri Leduc, Head of the Medico-Surgical Department of Thoracic Pathology, recently used this innovative technique to treat four cancerous lesions in three patients. This non-invasive method is proposed for patients who are unable to benefit from surgery due to their age, a poor respiratory function or comorbidities.  As such, it is an innovative alternative to radiotherapy and interventional radiology. “Compared to radiotherapy, this new method has the advantage that it can be carried out during the same operating time required to take biopsy samples, it can be repeated if necessary, and it is more precisely targeted at the treatment zone.  Unlike interventional radiology methods, it makes it possible to pass through natural orifices and to avoid a high risk of pneumothorax,” stresses Professor Bondue. Endoscopic ablation by the microwave method is therefore an additional treatment option when treating inoperable patents. “This effectively completes our arsenal for diagnosing the pulmonary nodule following screening campaigns. The technique of endoscopic navigation is already used routinely at the Erasmus Hospital that has developed major expertise in this field,” concludes Professor Leduc. Cauterization by endoscopic navigation The nodule is burned using a catheter introduced through natural orifices by endoscopy. The greater part of the intervention consists of appropriately placing the catheter through the nodule thanks to a precise navigation and use of a kind of scanner (CBCT) during the procedure.  Several return visits to check the scanner images are needed to find the right position for the ablation catheter. When the catheter is in place, the ablation begins and takes no more than 10 minutes. The aim is to burn the entire tumour while sparing a maximum of healthy tissue. After the procedure the patient wakes up without a surgical drain or painkillers. He or she remains hospitalised under surveillance for a few days and a verification scan is carried out the day after the intervention.  This new treatment represents real progress permitting a combined  lung cancer diagnosis and treatment. It is a new tool in our arsenal in combating ling cancer for inoperable patients at the Jules Bordet Institute and the Erasmus Hospital within the Brussels University Hospital.
