What a quote usually covers

Cancer care packages generally include specialist consultations, the treatment itself (surgery/chemo/radiotherapy), hospital stay, standard medicines and diagnostic monitoring. Targeted/biologic drugs, extended ICU and additional cycles are charged separately.

What affects the cost

Cost is driven by cancer type and stage, the treatment modality, choice of drugs (generic vs targeted/biologic), number of chemotherapy or radiotherapy cycles, hospital and surgeon, and any supportive care needed.
