Treatment costs may vary depending upon several conditions so to get a detailed treatment plan contact us below.

Factors affecting Cost of treatment

Type of Skin Cancer: The treatment costs of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma are altogether different and this is because the treatment of melanoma calls for a lot more than that of the other two.
Stage of Cancer: Cancers in early stages often cost less to treat than those that have reached later stages, affecting the latter.
Treatment Approach: Surgery, Radiation, and Chemotherapy are the most familiar treatments. The cost difference will be inversely proportional to the choice of treatment plan with regard to chemotherapy expenditures in India.
Location of Treatment: Prices vary from one city to the other as well as from one cancer treatment hospital to another. Selecting the right cancer hospital India can extend the quality of caring but this extends the expenses.
Chemotherapy: The cost of the chemotherapy in India depends with the number of cycles that are needed and with the type of the chemotherapy needed.
Supportive Care: Duration of the hospital stay, tests, follow up treatment also forms an additional-cost which has an influence over the total cost of chemotherapy in India.
Insurance Coverage: The co-payment may be affected either by the amount of insurance coverage or lack of insurance coverage for chemotherapy.

Treatment options

Surgery: In most of the cases, the tumour is surgically excised; this is mainly because skin cancer that has not spread to other body parts is curable. The radiation cost is on the lower side of the scale when it comes to the initial cancer stages where surgery is sufficient.
Radiation Therapy: More expensive than chemotherapy, radiation cost depends on the time of treatment and the area that is irradiated; it is usually applied to more severe cases or when surgery is impossible.
Chemotherapy: When cancer is advanced, the chemotherapy may be used with other treatments such as surgery or radiation. There can be cases when the radiation cost is covered by a chemotherapy treatment plan, in case radiation is required for certain regions.
Targeted Therapy: Some patients can be treated with immunotherapy in some way thus limiting the use of long term radiation. Nonetheless, radiation cost could still be relatively high in integrated treatment strategies.
Palliative Care: At the late stage, therefore, the aim of palliative care is more of the quality of life. Symptom control may involve radiation therapy, which is one of the determinants of the total radiation expense.
Follow-up Treatments: The follow up after initial treatment may involve radiation therapy for checking and managing the relapse.
