Most of the lung cancer surgeries cost from $30,000 to $70,000, and the specific cost difference is mainly affected by the degree of progression of the disease, the way of surgery, and the postoperative recovery.
Lung cancer can be treated by open surgery or thoracoscopic surgery. The cost of open surgery is about 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, while the cost of thoracoscopic surgery is about 40,000 to 60,000 yuan.
If the disease is in the early stage, the tumor is completely resected, there is no lymph node metastasis in postoperative pathological examination, and there is no need for postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy, etc., the cost will be lower, but if residual tumor cells at the margins of the incision or metastasis of lymph nodes are found, a period of radiotherapy may be needed, and the cost will be increased.
If the patient’s physical condition is poor and the postoperative recovery is not good, the admission time will be long and the overall cost will be elevated; the specific cost needs to be determined by doing specific consultation at the local hospital.
After lung cancer surgery, it is necessary to pay attention to closely observe the postoperative recovery status, especially the status of cardiopulmonary function, and consult the doctor in time when there are obvious respiratory abnormalities and infections, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of clinicians.
