How much does it cost to cure childhood bone cancer

How much does it cost to cure childhood bone cancer? This is a question that everyone has been concerned about. Because patients think that bone cancer is an incurable disease, many patients simply give up treatment and don't want to waste money. So, how much does it generally cost to treat bone cancer? Because each bone cancer patient has a different condition and the treatment plan used is also different, so the cost of treating bone cancer generally cannot be generalized.

1. Cost of surgery:

If the patient is properly cared for after surgery and there is no deterioration or metastasis, half of the patients can survive for five years. The cost of surgery is about 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Of course, the cost varies in different regions. This is just a rough reference. If bone cancer spreads and metastasizes after surgery, it will be a considerable expense.

2. Cost of radiotherapy and chemotherapy:

Radiotherapy equipment is expensive, and medical staff who perform radiotherapy are also exposed to radiation damage, so additional subsidies are required for medical staff, which results in a high price for radiotherapy. In addition, the side effects that occur during radiotherapy also require targeted treatment, so the cost of radiotherapy is also very high. The cost of radiotherapy in hospitals of different levels in different regions is also different, about 2,000-3,000 yuan per course of treatment. Depending on the condition and the physical condition and sensitivity of bone cancer patients, it takes several to more than ten courses of treatment.
