Approximate cost of brain tumor treatment

The cost of brain tumor treatment varies for each patient due to the type of brain tumor, different treatment methods adopted, etc. The overall cost is about between 40,000~100,000, and individual patients may exceed 100,000 yuan. Brain tumor clinically includes two major categories: primary and secondary, among which primary brain tumor includes two major categories: benign and malignant. Primary benign brain tumors and early malignant brain tumors usually cost between 40,000~60,000 if only surgical treatment is needed. For intermediate to advanced malignant brain tumors, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are also required after surgery, thus adding about another $40,000 to $50,000 to the cost. Secondary brain tumors are advanced cancers that are mostly treated with a combination of targeted, radiation, and chemotherapy treatments, and the treatment usually needs to be done over a long period of time, potentially costing more than $100k.
