How much does it cost to treat breast cancer

Treatment for breast cancer may cost more, but nowadays, health insurance reimbursement policies are also better, so it is usually affordable. Depending on the type of treatment chosen, the cost may also vary. For example, if you need radical breast cancer treatment, the cost may be about $12,000, which can be reimbursed 70% by health insurance. There is also the need for 4-8 courses of adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery, which may cost about $6,400 per course. Of course, there may be some differences in costs between different levels of hospitals and different regions. In addition, if breast cancer requires radiotherapy, the cost of one course of treatment may be $40,000-$50,000. The cost of this treatment is still relatively high, but radiotherapy and chemotherapy are generally reimbursed by medical insurance at about 65%. There are some differences between different places in terms of health insurance policies, so you need to go to the local consultation for details. In addition, breast cancer can be treated with endocrine and targeted drug therapy, which is also a long-term treatment process. The cost of targeted therapy with Herceptin is still relatively high, but now it is much lower compared to the original, and each course of treatment may cost about 10,000 RMB.
