Treatment reference: how much does gastric cancer surgery cost

  Nowadays, technology is constantly developing and medical technology is constantly innovating, so there are more and more methods to treat gastric cancer, but nowadays, many gastric cancer patients are not only concerned about the treatment but also about the cost of gastric cancer treatment.  In order to improve the efficiency of treatment and reduce the medical cost of patients, the Ministry of Health has formulated and released six clinical pathways, including radical surgery for gastric cancer, combined organ removal surgery for gastric cancer, palliative chemotherapy for gastric cancer, preoperative chemotherapy for gastric cancer, adjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer and radiation therapy for gastric cancer. Taking radical gastric cancer surgery as an example, from clinical manifestations, days of hospitalization and discharge criteria, all of them are stipulated, and the reference cost is required to be between 30,000 and 50,000 RMB. This means that in the future, patients with these diseases can be treated in a standardized mode, and the cost of treatment can be reduced.  According to the previous statistics of the Ministry of Health, many diseases have shortened the average hospitalization days and significantly reduced the hospitalization costs after the implementation of clinical pathway management. For example, for geriatric cataract, the average hospitalization day dropped from 5.74 days to 4.95 days, and the average hospitalization cost dropped from 7,063.7 yuan to 6,827.1 yuan, a decrease of 236.6 yuan. Among the hospitals with the most significant cost decrease, the decrease can reach 33.4%.  Key factors affecting the treatment cost of gastric cancer 1. Treatment cost is related to whether the hospital is regular or not: under the same condition, the treatment cost of gastric cancer is closely related to the hospital chosen by the patient. If you choose a regular hospital, all medical fees and medicine fees will be transparent, so that patients will never spend more money unnecessarily.  2. Treatment cost is related to the severity of the disease: according to the specific severity of the disease, the treatment method and treatment cost are different. The actual cost of the actual product is usually the same as the cost of the actual product.  3. Treatment cost is related to treatment: Most patients with gastric cancer will adopt surgical resection for treatment, and the cost of surgical resection is about 20,000-30,000. Although surgical resection is the common way to treat gastric cancer, it should be clear that the so-called treatment effect of surgical resection is survival up to five years. Therefore, surgical resection is not a better treatment method for gastric cancer patients.
