The cost of craniotomy for meningioma is about $50,000 to $60,000, and the cost of Gamma Knife for meningioma is about $20,000 to $40,000.
Surgery is the standard treatment option for meningioma. The cost of craniotomy for meningioma includes the basic surgical fee of about $4,000, anesthesia cost of about $10,000, the cost of consumables needed for the surgery (e.g., titanium plates, titanium nails, artificial dura mater, etc.) costs about $30,000 to $40,000, and the overall surgical cost is about $50,000 to $60,000.
Patients with skull base meningiomas in important functional areas and those who are old and frail and not suitable for brain surgery can be treated with radiation therapy alone. As there may be differences in treatment modalities among different hospitals, such as the use of medication, the price of treatment also varies, generally ranging from about 20,000 to 40,000 yuan.
In recent years, with the increasing popularization of medical insurance, the proportion of out-of-pocket expenses for this type of surgery is gradually decreasing, so patients do not need to worry too much about the cost.
