How much does biological treatment for breast cancer cost?

How much does biological treatment for breast cancer cost? After being diagnosed with breast cancer in the hospital, choosing a treatment method and bearing the corresponding treatment costs have become the focus of attention of patients and their families. As the latest cancer treatment method, how much does biological immunotherapy cost to treat breast cancer? Let's take a look at the following introduction.

By consulting experts in tumor biological treatment, we learned that the cost of treating breast cancer with biological immunotherapy technology is charged according to the number of times and cycles. The cost of each treatment is about 30,000 yuan, so at least three treatments are required, and the total cost will be more than 100,000 yuan. This is really an astronomical figure for a patient whose family is not wealthy.

The cost of biological therapy for breast cancer is influenced by a combination of factors:

1. Factors affecting the cost: Generally speaking, breast cancer is not serious in the early stage. When there is no metastasis of the tumor, surgical treatment is the first choice, and this is also the period with the lowest treatment cost. However, surgical treatment is to eliminate the tumor by quickly removing the tumor tissue locally, but it is easy to miss small lesions, causing cancer cells to spread. Even if the primary tumor and surrounding lymph nodes are surgically removed, the metastatic lesions transferred to other organs will still quickly form metastatic tumors. Therefore, surgical treatment cannot achieve the ideal therapeutic effect, and after multiple surgeries, not only the body suffers great pain, but also the cost will make it difficult for ordinary families to bear. According to the usual thinking, surgical treatment cannot achieve the ideal effect, and radiotherapy and chemotherapy are often used for treatment. This treatment method is not only expensive but also extremely harmful to patients. It will not only produce a series of toxic side effects, but also kill normal cells together, causing body function impairment, etc., posing a very serious threat to the life and health of patients, and it cannot solve the problem of tumor metastasis.

2. Factors affecting hospital costs: Most patients believe that more authoritative and well-known hospitals charge more expensive fees, while local or private hospitals are relatively cheaper, so they choose some small local hospitals without safety guarantees for treatment. In fact, many private hospitals often ask patients to undergo various full-body examinations before receiving treatment, extend the treatment cycle, and charge treatment fees indiscriminately under the guise of "discounted surgical fees" to make profits from the cost of examinations. In addition, local hospitals are not guaranteed in diagnosis and treatment because their experts are not authoritative enough, their technology is not strong enough, their equipment is not advanced enough, and their environment is not thoroughly disinfected. They often cannot achieve the ideal treatment effect, which not only fails to cure the disease, but also wastes a lot of money.
