You are not alone in this
You are here because you are facing a serious situation. Perhaps you have just received a diagnosis. Perhaps you are seeking a second opinion. Perhaps you are helping a loved one. Whatever brought you here — you are making the right choice.
Every day, patients come to me with the same questions:
- "I have been diagnosed. I don't know what to do next"
- "I have been prescribed treatment, but I'm not sure it's the right one"
- "I want to understand what is happening to me, not just follow orders"
- "My loved one is ill. I want to help, but I don't know how"
Seeking information, asking questions, choosing your doctor thoughtfully — this is not panic. This is a wise step. And I will help you make sense of your situation.

Why patients choose Evgeny Ledin
Not every oncologist is a clinical researcher. Not every researcher treats patients personally.
Participation in 30+ international clinical trials means your doctor doesn't just read about new drugs — he works with them before they are approved. This is a different level of understanding of how treatments work and their side effects.
Molecular profiling of the tumor is not a formality. For every patient, I analyze the complete molecular portrait: mutations, receptor expression, MSI status. This determines which therapy will work for you specifically.
Co-author of national RUSSCO guidelines for liver, biliary tract, and small bowel tumors. Publications in The Lancet, NEJM, Journal of Clinical Oncology are not just lines on a CV — they are the foundation for treatment decisions about your care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to questions most commonly asked before the first visit.
The initial consultation is 29,000 RUB. It includes a review of your records before the appointment, a 45–60 minute in-person session, and a personalized treatment plan. A thorough analysis of your situation with specific recommendations.
The cost reflects the scope of work: your doctor reviews your records before the visit, the consultation itself lasts 45–60 minutes (not 15 minutes, as in a public clinic), and you receive a detailed plan with concrete next steps. You are getting the expertise of a specialist with over twenty years of experience, publications in The Lancet, NEJM, and Journal of Clinical Oncology, and participation in 30+ clinical trials.
Yes, I accept patients with private health insurance (VHI/DMS). Provide your insurance company name and policy number when scheduling, and the visit will be coordinated with your insurer. More details on the Services page.
Yes. Online consultations (second opinions) are available for patients from other cities and countries. You send your medical records, the doctor conducts a thorough analysis, and you meet via video call. This is a full expert evaluation of your situation.
Yes. The clinic is equipped for systemic anticancer therapy: chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormonal therapy. Treatment is carried out under the supervision of the doctor and his team.
Absolutely. A cancer diagnosis affects the entire family. Having a loved one present during the consultation often helps to absorb information better, ask additional questions, and ease anxiety. The doctor explains the situation so that both the patient and their family can understand it clearly.
If you have questions, let's work through them together
You don't have to make a decision right now. But if your situation calls for attention, don't wait. The sooner the right strategy is in place, the more options you have.
I personally review your records before the appointment so the consultation is as productive as possible.
