How much does it usually cost to cure breast cancer?

1. The treatment of breast cancer is comprehensive. An appropriate treatment plan should be formulated based on the tumor stage and the patient's general condition, including surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, targeted therapy and other methods.

2. However, most of the drugs currently used to treat breast cancer, whether chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, or targeted therapy, have been covered by medical insurance. Therefore, for breast cancer patients, the cost of treatment will not be particularly high.

Is chemotherapy necessary for advanced breast cancer?

In the late stage of breast cancer, metastasis to distant organs will occur, and the continued development of the tumor will also manifest as a progressive decline in nutritional status, weight loss, etc. The main purpose of late-stage treatment is to relieve the patient's pain, because many patients will experience obvious pain in the later stages, such as bone metastasis or lung metastasis. In this case, painkillers can be given for treatment according to the needs of the disease.

In the early stage, you can choose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with relatively poor analgesic effects or relatively small side effects, and then you can use opioid receptor antagonists. Oral medications can be chosen in the early stage, and sedatives can also be used in the later stage, including morphine hydrochloride injection. If the patient has obvious dysphagia and decreased appetite, you can also choose intravenous nutritional support therapy, including the use of fat emulsion amino acids or human serum albumin, etc., according to the family's economic conditions.

The cancer cells in advanced patients have already spread and metastasized to a certain extent, and generally require a variety of conservative treatments under the guidance of a doctor.
