Cost of esophageal cancer stent surgery

Stent treatment of esophageal cancer is a common treatment method. With the development of medicine, stents with particles are becoming an ideal treatment for patients who cannot undergo surgery, do not want surgery, and do not want chemotherapy. Self-expanding esophageal stents are mesh support tubes woven from nickel-titanium alloy (NiTi alloy) wires, also known as nickel-titanium memory alloy stents. This type of stent has a high practical value in the treatment of esophageal stricture diseases and perforation or fistula formation diseases caused by certain reasons.

The cost of stent surgery for esophageal cancer varies from hospital to hospital. Taking Chongqing as an example, the cost of a coated recyclable stent is more than 4,000 yuan per pair, and the cost of installing the stent and treatment is more than 1,000 yuan. If the esophagus is narrow and needs to be expanded before the stent can be inserted, the expansion fee is 300 to 400 yuan. Ordinary non-recyclable stents cost more than 1,000 yuan per pair, and more than 3,000 yuan per pair.
