What falls under Oncology

Why patients choose India

Built for Bangladesh and five other regions

MedTrav coordinates oncology referrals from Bangladesh, Iraq & the Gulf (Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar), CIS Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan), Africa (Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda), the Maldives and Fiji, matching each case to an accredited Indian hospital with the right sub-specialty depth — not just the nearest available bed.

For patients from Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda, a free tele-consultation second opinion is often the first step — confirming diagnosis, staging and an Indian oncologist's recommended plan before any travel is booked.

Indicative cost — 2026

What oncology typically costs

Figures below are indicative 2026 ranges reported across accredited Indian hospitals, for planning purposes only — not a marketed or final price.

ProcedureIndicative cost (USD)Typical hospital stay
Chemotherapy (per cycle)$1,200 – $3,000Day-care – 2 days
Major cancer surgery (e.g. mastectomy, colectomy)$2,500 – $8,0005–8 days
Radiation therapy (full course, IMRT/IGRT)$3,000 – $6,0004–6 weeks (outpatient)
Bone marrow transplant$20,000 – $30,0003–4 weeks

What this actually covers, and what it doesn't: Cancer treatment cost depends heavily on cancer type, stage and how many treatment components (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation) your case needs — no single “cancer package price” is meaningful on its own. MedTrav's estimate is built line-by-line against your biopsy and staging reports, so you can see exactly what each component costs rather than one bundled marketing figure.

Questions about oncology in India

How much does cancer treatment cost in India for foreign patients?

It depends on the treatment components required. As a guide, chemotherapy runs $1,200–$3,000 per cycle, major cancer surgery $2,500–$8,000, and a full radiation course $3,000–$6,000 — confirmed exactly once your staging is reviewed.

Can I get a second opinion on my cancer diagnosis before travelling to India?

Yes — MedTrav arranges a free tele-consultation second opinion with an Indian oncologist using your existing biopsy and imaging reports.

How long does cancer treatment in India usually take?

It depends entirely on your treatment plan — a single surgery may need under two weeks in India, while a full radiation course can require a 4–6 week stay.

Tata Memorial Centre in Mumbai is India's largest dedicated cancer hospital by volume; Apollo Cancer Centres and Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute are strong multi-city and Delhi-based alternatives respectively.
