The cost of hepatocellular carcinoma treatment is a major concern for patients, but the cost of treatment is influenced by many factors and cannot be generalized. In addition to the traditional diagnosis and treatment and taking tonics, TCM treatment also applies modern Chinese medicine preparations, and because of the differences in patients’ lesions, pathologies, stages and dialectics, there are considerable differences in treatment modalities and costs. Therefore, patients should visit regular hospitals in time to receive standardized treatment to avoid delaying treatment.
