How much does lung cancer cost? It depends on the type of pathology, genotyping, clinical stage, patient's region, patient's health insurance type, and it varies a lot in between. Therefore, it is more appropriate to talk about it by items. (Not all of the following items will be used for every patient) Pulmonary surgery, 3-10 million, 0.5-30 million after medical insurance, mainly because there are some high-value consumables that are not covered by medical insurance during surgery. Pulmonary radiotherapy, 30-80,000, 0.5-80,000 after health insurance, smaller lesions are suitable for gamma knife (30%-90% reimbursement in different regions), and then better with radio wave knife (most regions are not covered by health insurance), gas pedal has the highest reimbursement rate, but also the highest rate of radiation pneumonia. The cost of chemotherapy is not high, and the reimbursement rate is very high everywhere. Many of the more expensive drugs in the past, such as Bevar, have been reduced in price + into the health insurance, if you use certain imported drugs that reduce the side effects, such as white violet these, you need to pay out of pocket, a few thousand dollars each time. Once again, chemotherapy, is very useful. Don't be foolish to listen to others say that chemotherapy dies faster and end up mistreating yourself. Targeted drugs and immunotherapy, which is also the bulk of the cost, but the good thing is that in recent years, most of the drugs reduced prices + into the health insurance, there are few people buy Indian and Bangladeshi drugs anymore. If the matching type of drugs in the scope of health insurance, the monthly cost of 2000 or less, not health insurance, the cost of several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars per month. The economy is not generous, try to use domestic drugs, cure and not cure ah qualitative difference, domestic and imported is the difference in quantity. Pathological genotype testing, 6000-15000 or so, this part is self-pay. In general, the whole course of the disease 1-2 times on the line, note that if you do not get the tissue specimens, the economy is not generous, do not pay for the blood test to check the genetic variant, the positive rate is too low to scratch. PET-CT, 7,500 per visit, at your own expense. It takes 1-3 times during the whole course of the disease. If you are not financially well off, you can use multi-site CT or MRI instead (CT and MRI are covered by health insurance). Most of the other routine tests, MRI, CT, blood tests and so on, are covered by medical insurance. Note that as long as lung cancer is diagnosed, especially adenocarcinoma or small cell lung cancer, regardless of head symptoms, brain MRI must be checked once every 2-3 months for early detection of brain metastasis, which is effective and ***** to deal with early. 3cm or less can be treated with Gamma Knife, which has a 95% local control rate and costs 15-20,000, but if it gets bigger, it can only be done with craniotomy, which can be expensive. Brain metastases treatment, why do we have to take out a separate story, because the proportion of lung cancer brain metastases is very high, the literature reports 50%-80%. Small lesions and less than 10 lesions can be treated with gamma knife at a cost of $15-20,000 with reimbursement ranging from 30%-90%, depending on the region. Intensive multiple metastases and meningeal metastases, suitable for whole brain radiotherapy, $10-30,000, reimbursement ranging from 50%-100%. Single large lesion with craniotomy, costing 30-100,000, reimbursement ranging from 30%-80%, depending on the region and the use of high-value consumables. One point to note, for example, the cost of gamma knife treatment is 20,000, and there may be another 2-4,000 for inpatient examinations, etc. And in the case of delaying to the need for surgery, for example, direct surgery costs 50,000, then other perioperative costs during hospitalization, there may be another 20-50,000. When a tumor is diagnosed, the only choice is to treat or not to treat, there is no conservative, conservative is to give up. The worst choice is to be conservative first, and then aggressive treatment, which will only have poor effect and cost more money to live a shorter life. Lung cancer is the fastest progressing field in the past 20 years, and the difference between the Chinese and American levels is not great. For those who want to sell their house, it is equivalent to giving up a large amount of cost that can be covered by domestic medical insurance. Overall, the cost of lung cancer treatment is almost the money of a car, not a suite, and the common situation is 100-300 thousand. Don't say "my neighbor's surgery cost 200,000", I've seen 800,000, so I'll write a surgery cost of 1-800,000, what is the nutrition of this answer?
