Colon cancer (a type of colorectal cancer affecting the large intestine) is one of the more common gastrointestinal cancers in India. Advances in medical treatment—ranging from various surgical techniques (open, laparoscopic, robotic) to chemotherapy and radiotherapy—have improved patient outcomes significantly. However, the costs associated with these treatments in premium tertiary hospitals can be substantial and vary widely.
Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, is a significant health concern worldwide. In India, the cost of colon cancer treatment varies based on factors such as the stage of cancer, type of treatment, hospital chosen, and the patient’s overall health. On average, the treatment cost ranges from INR 1,50,000 to INR 6,00,000.
Factors Influencing Treatment Costs:
- Diagnostic Tests: Procedures like colonoscopy, biopsy, CT scans, and blood tests are essential for accurate diagnosis and can influence the overall cost.
- Treatment Modalities: The choice between surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy affects the total expense. For instance, chemotherapy costs per cycle can range from INR 20,000 to INR 2,50,000, depending on the drugs used and the number of cycles required.
- Hospital and Surgeon Expertise: Treatment costs can vary based on the hospital’s infrastructure and the surgeon’s experience. Choosing a specialist like Dr. Chintamani Godbole, who has extensive experience in colorectal surgeries, ensures quality care.
