How Much Does Surgery for Sigmoid Colon Cancer Cost

The treatment cost of sigmoid colon cancer is roughly 40-60 thousand yuan in China. The specific charges are related to the level of the hospital that the patient consults, the surgical method used, the patient’s general condition, and whether it causes any complications; the higher the level of the hospital, the higher the cost. The cost of laparoscopic surgery is more than 10,000 yuan higher than that of open surgery; the treatment cost will increase accordingly for patients who are older and have more comorbid underlying diseases. Therefore, there is no fixed standard for the cost, which is also related to the recovery of the patient after the operation and whether there is any infection, nutritional support, and how quickly the body recovers.
