How much does brain cancer treatment usually cost

How much does it usually cost to treat brain cancer? Generally speaking, the cost of brain cancer surgery depends on the specific situation of the patient. A brain cancer surgery in a good hospital in Beijing costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, while other places are relatively cheaper, usually 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Different methods are used to treat various brain cancers, and the cost of treatment varies greatly. There have been great advances in the diagnosis and treatment of intracranial tumors. The cost of treatment has increased several times or even dozens of times compared to earlier years. Most patients will undergo multiple surgeries and relapses.
Generally, a brain cancer surgery costs 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and a gamma knife surgery costs more than 20,000 yuan. A new chemotherapy drug cycle takes one month, and domestic ones cost about 10,000 yuan, while imported ones cost tens of thousands of yuan.
A course of proton knife treatment costs about 150,000 yuan, and ordinary radiotherapy costs about 10,000 yuan. For general brain cancer patients, surgery and radiotherapy will cost at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. Most patients spend around 100,000 yuan, and some spend more than 200,000 yuan.
It is not uncommon for patients to undergo repeated surgeries, such as repeated gamma knife surgeries, at a cost of three to five hundred million yuan, but in terms of actual efficacy, there has been little progress.
The average survival time of patients with intracranial malignant tumors after surgery plus radiotherapy and chemotherapy is less than one year. Various treatment methods for malignant and benign tumors that cannot be completely removed have been used, but they cannot prevent recurrence. Most patients believe that Chinese medicine is ineffective in treating brain cancer and preventing recurrence after brain cancer surgery. They only seek Chinese medicine treatment when Western medicine cannot perform surgery or fails to treat the disease. However, it is very difficult to find Chinese medicine that is indeed effective. The symptoms caused by brain cancer should be effective in about 20 days. Twenty days of medication costs more than 1,000 yuan. If the medication is effective, you can continue to use it to shrink or eliminate the tumor. If the medication is ineffective, you can stop the treatment. The cost of a course of treatment is about 3,000 to 5,000 yuan when the medication is used continuously, and Chinese medicine generally has no side effects.
