The last column is calculated from the two figures in the same row. Actual prices differ by hospital and case.
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.
