How much does malignant gastric cancer surgery cost

Surgical treatment of gastric cancer is mostly suitable for early gastric cancer. How much does gastric cancer surgery cost? This is what everyone wants to know. If gastric cancer has not spread or metastasized in the early stage and the patient's physical condition allows surgery, choosing surgery to remove the tumor is the best choice. So how much does malignant gastric cancer surgery cost? Let me take a look at the following introduction.

The cost of gastric cancer surgery is determined by many factors. So, let’s take a look at the situations in which surgery is more suitable.

1. How much does radical resection of gastric cancer cost: Radical resection of gastric cancer involves a wide range of areas, including the primary lesion, 2/3 or 4/5 of the distal stomach, and all of the greater and lesser omentum, and part of the duodenum. The amount of resection is indeed quite large, and of course, the cost of treatment is also high. Generally, such a complete resection costs 20,000 yuan.

2. Partial resection surgery involves a much smaller area than total resection surgery. This is a regional surgery that does not remove the entire tumor. This method is more thorough in removing the tumor, but the cost of the surgery is also higher.

3. Extended radical resection: Resection of the entire stomach or adjacent transverse colon, left liver lobe, spleen, pancreatic body and tail, left cardia, lymph nodes beside splenic vessels, etc. This is because it is not only necessary to perform gastric cancer surgery, but also to remove other organs near the gastric cancer site. The cost of such surgery is about 50,000 yuan. However, domestic medical charges are different, and the treatment methods adopted are also different.

4. Palliative resection is mostly for patients with metastatic disease. Since the cancer cells have already metastasized, the treatment effect of such surgery is not very ideal. When doing such surgery, you must consider palliative gastrectomy.

The cost of surgery varies according to the charging rules of different hospitals. In addition to surgery, there are also the costs of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Of course, in addition to surgical treatment, other treatment costs must also be considered. For example, the cost of medication, etc.

Therefore, a surgical treatment can cost thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, depending on which hospital the patient is in and what treatment method is chosen. The determining factors include the patient's specific condition, physical fitness, and the treatment plan chosen. The treatment plan is also the key to determining the cost of treatment.

In the early stage of treatment, surgery can completely remove the gastric cancer tissue. The drugs needed do not need to be so expensive. In the late stage, the treatment effect is not good, and the cost of surgery and drugs is also high. Therefore, the sooner the treatment of gastric cancer, the better. This is the introduction to the cost of gastric cancer surgery.
