At present, the cost of radiation therapy for esophageal cancer is about $2,000~3,000 per session. The cost of radiation therapy for patients will vary depending on the course of treatment, dose, and dealing with the side effects of radiation therapy.

The cost of chemotherapy for esophageal cancer ranges from 6,000~20,000 RMB, which is mainly related to the program and drug selection, and the treatment of toxic side effects.
