How much does radiotherapy for kidney cancer cost?

In fact, the cost of radiotherapy for kidney cancer varies greatly depending on the treatment method of the patient. Different patients need to spend different amounts of money on treatment to achieve good results. At present, the treatment of advanced kidney cancer mainly includes Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine. The cost of Western medicine treatment ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands or even millions, while traditional Chinese medicine treatment only costs a few thousand yuan a month.

1. Surgical treatment: The treatment effect depends on the stage of kidney cancer, the depth of invasion and the spread of the tumor. For early kidney cancer, partial gastrectomy is usually performed. If there is local lymph node metastasis, it should be cleared at the same time. For patients in the advanced stage, if there is no distant metastasis, surgical resection should be performed as much as possible, and the cost generally ranges from 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.
2. Chemotherapy: Patients with early-stage renal cancer without any metastatic lesions generally do not need chemotherapy after surgery. Early-stage renal cancer with metastatic lymph node cancer and all advanced renal cancers require chemotherapy. The cost of chemotherapy ranges from 1,000 to tens of thousands per time, mainly depending on the chemotherapy regimen used.
3. Radiotherapy: Kidney cancer has low radiosensitivity. Radiotherapy alone cannot be used to cure it. Its role is mainly auxiliary or palliative. The main forms of radiotherapy for kidney cancer are: preoperative radiotherapy, intraoperative radiotherapy, postoperative radiotherapy and palliative radiotherapy. Although the effect is good, its side effects are also very obvious, causing multiple harms to patients. The cost depends on the specific situation.
4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment: Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment for late-stage renal cancer uses both oral and topical treatments. Multiple treatment methods work together in a three-dimensional manner to quickly open up the meridians and internal organs, quickly control the "swelling", "pain" and "water" caused by the malignant tumor, and curb the progression of the malignant tumor.
