Approximate cost of radiotherapy for lung cancer

The cost of radiation therapy for lung cancer varies depending on the means of treatment. The original lung cancer is treated by radiotherapy through X-ray, and the cost is usually several thousand dollars. The cost of general conformal radiotherapy, through radiotherapy means of X-blade and gas pedal, usually costs $15-20,000. The cost through general conformal radiotherapy with intensity modulated means is about $40,000-50,000. At present, there are better means of proton therapy, but the cost is higher, about $278,000 for individual areas, for patients with better financial conditions.
