Other Details

Factors Effecting the Cost of the Treatment

  • Stage of Cancer: This factor affects the cost of treatment in a big way. Generally, treatment is decided to depend on the stage. The cost will increase depending upon the complexity of cancer.
  • Treatments that are done: The treatment options taken by the patient and the oncologist will decide the actual cost. Different treatments have different costs. Greater the number of treatments that one undergoes, greater will be the cost.
  • Place of the treatment: The cost of colon cancer therapy varies from one hospital to another, from one city to the other. The city with a high standard of living will naturally be costlier compared to others. And the treatment cost in Private hospitals will be greater than that of the Government Hospital. There are numerous best colon cancer hospitals in India that provide outstanding care and are JCI and NABH accredited.
  • Number of sessions and cycles: The treatments like chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are given in cycles. The radiation therapy is given in sessions. The cost is estimated per cycles and sessions. So, the greater the number of the session and cycles one goes through the higher will be the colon cancer treatment cost in India.
  • Medicines used in the treatment: When it comes to cancer treatment, the medicines are very costly. So the fact that which medicine is used in colon cancer treatment affects the treatment cost.
  • Equipment used: Equipment used in cancer treatment also directly affects the total cost of the treatment. If one is undergoing robotic or laparoscopic surgery or high dosed chemotherapy with costly medicine or latest technologies the cost will increase.
  • Pre-Colon Cancer Treatment: Before Colon cancer treatment, there will be certain tests that one should consider going through. The oncologist will suggest the tests.

Here, we are discussing the cost of such tests and pre-colon cancer treatment you can expect

Post Colon Cancer Treatment Cost

After the treatment, there may be some follow-ups or extra costs that you should take into consideration. Some side effects may come up, some tests you will have to go through etc. So here, find the extra costs that you should consider.

ChargesDescription
Extra Consultation FeesAfter the treatment of colon cancer, you may have to consult the same doctor or multiple doctors.
Hospital FeesThe stay in the hospital may take some time. So the cost for the stay should also be considered
Hotel ChargesAfter the hospital stay, you will have to stay back for few days. So you should consider the rent. It depends on your choice of hotel
Complications ManagementIf any unexpected situation arises after the treatment, further test and follow ups will be done.

Colon cancer survival rate in India

In India, you can get the best colon cancer treatment at an affordable rate. But when you are looking for any cancer treatment, the success rate is one of the factors that many people consider. So here we will discuss the survival rate of the colon cancer treatment in India.

StageSurvival Rate
Stage I

95%

Stage II

75%

Stage III

60%

Stage IV

30%

The colon cancer when found early can be treated successfully. That is why the survival rate of stage 1 is high, whereas stage 4 has a low survival rate. In the early diagnosed colon cancer, the complication will be low and hence the success rate is comparatively high. The higher the level, the more issues there are and the lesser the chance of success.

The colon cancer is more seen in people with the age of 50 or above. It doesn’t mean people younger than 50 there is no risk of colon cancer. The chances of colon cancer are high in old people.

My brother has liver tumor he went through surgery but doctors said there is small amount of tumor left which cant be removed through surgery.my question is will it be removed by radiation therapy/chemotherapy?

Male | 19

Radiation therapy and chemotherapy are treatment options that can help shrink liver tumors. But the effectiveness of these treatments depends on various factors such as the size and location of the remaining tumor, and the overall health of the patient. It is best to consult with an oncologist to determine the most appropriate course of treatment for your brother's condition.

I am writing for my father's treatment. He has been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in April 2018. He had gone through 6 cycles of of Alimta and carboplatin till October and then two cylces of Alimta only till December 2018. Up to October, he was doing great, had no side effects and his tumor size went down. After that he became very fatigued and also his tumor size increased significantly. In January 2019, Doctor put him on Docetaxel and so far he is doing good with no side effect. But, we would like to continue his treatment in your reputed hospital. I have attached his initial PET scan (April 2018) and recent PET scan (January 2019) along with few other CT scan. I appreciate if you could suggest me the doctor for his treatment and help me getting the appointments. Also, it would be very helpful if you can give me idea about the expenses. Since he will be coming from Bangladesh, it will take time to get visa and arrange rest of the stuff. Currently I am in Canada and planning to join him during his initial treatment at your hospital, preferably in March.

He will have to consult medical oncologist to make a treatment plan. everything will have to be looked into in detail before advising a plan. I suggest you to continue Docetaxel until that time.

There is no guaranteed cure for chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Long term outlook may vary with individual specific cases. Chemotherapy may help to manage the disease, but the goal is usually to help manage symptoms and slow down the progression of the disease.
