How much does a course of chemotherapy for lung cancer cost

Chemotherapy for lung cancer should be determined based on your pathological type, tumor stage and chemotherapy regimen. Generally speaking, the CAO regimen for small cell lung cancer: CTX, ADM, VCR, about 3,000 yuan/cycle, the CE regimen: CBP, Vp16, about 4,000 yuan/cycle, and for non-small cell lung cancer, the MVP regimen: Mme, VDS, DDP, about 4,000 yuan/cycle, and the NP regimen: NVB, DDP, about 5,000 yuan/cycle.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor of the lungs. Generally speaking, if lung cancer is in the early or middle stages and there is no obvious distant metastasis or local spread, surgical resection of the tumor can be considered. Routine pathological examination and immunohistochemistry examination will be performed after surgery, and corresponding chemotherapy can be performed based on the results. Generally speaking, the cost of a course of treatment is about 10,000 yuan, which mainly depends on which chemotherapy drug is chosen. Some chemotherapy drugs are more effective and have lighter side effects, but the price will be higher. Some are relatively cheaper, but the side effects may be greater. The chemotherapy course for lung cancer generally takes about six times. If lung cancer can be operated on, then chemotherapy is needed after the operation to increase the probability of cure. Pay attention to your personal life, try to be regular, avoid staying up late and anxiety, and don't smoke, and try not to go to the dusty environment, which will help the recovery of lung cancer.

Generally, chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer costs at least 3,000 to 5,000 yuan per course of treatment, and at most more than 10,000 yuan. This is mainly because the specific conditions of each patient with advanced lung cancer are different, the medication used by each patient is different, and the hospital area is different, so the prices are different, especially the difference between domestic and imported drugs. The price of imported drugs with relatively small side effects is relatively high. Since it is very likely to cause some loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, insufficient intake of patients can easily lead to insufficient nutrition, so we can adjust it from the diet. During chemotherapy, you should eat some high-protein, high-calorie, easily digestible and low-fat foods, such as meat, fish, and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can also use dynamic Chinese medicine therapy after surgery to kill residual cancer cells, improve immunity, and prevent recurrence and metastasis.

However, the cost of lung cancer chemotherapy must be determined based on the patient's actual situation and multiple factors.

Chemotherapy routes

Because the patient's condition is different, the chemotherapy method will be different. Generally, systemic chemotherapy and local chemotherapy are the most common. Of course, the drugs used and the cost of these two methods are definitely different.

Different medications

Drugs are generally divided into domestic chemotherapy drugs and imported chemotherapy drugs. Generally speaking, domestic chemotherapy drugs are cheaper than imported chemotherapy drugs, and the cost will probably not exceed five figures. Of course, the specific drug to be used for treatment should still be determined based on the specific situation of the patient.

Different hospitals

Due to different geographical locations, the economic level and consumption level of each place will also vary, so the hospitals in each place will also differ due to different regions.
