Managing it vs treating it
Modeled previewThe actual decision at this stage: the recurring cost of living with the condition vs the one-time treatment pathway. Unit prices only — we never extrapolate an annual total.
Managing — recurring
- Specialist follow-upOncologist $37 per visit
- Monitoring imagingComputed Tomography (CT) Scan $93 per scan
- Ongoing medication Not yet sourced
- Published annual cost of management Not yet sourced
Treating — one-time pathway

entry prices across 3 treatment options — one pathway per patient, never summed
Which side wins is a staging call — the care pathway ↓ frame that conversation with the specialist.
When flying pays off — the break-even line
Modeled previewThe go/no-go math everyone does on a napkin, done transparently: price here plus trip costs from United States (change in the header) — flying beats staying when your quote at home is above the line.
| Treatment option | Price here | + Trip (est.) | Flying pays above |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radiation Therapy 5-night modeled trip | from $2,440 | ≈ $2,970 | ≈ $5,410 |
| Bone Marrow Transplant (for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, aplastic anemia, sickle cell disease) 5-night modeled trip | from $24,400 | ≈ $2,970 | ≈ $27,400 |
| Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Transplant 5-night modeled trip | from $24,400 | ≈ $2,970 | ≈ $27,400 |
Trip = flights, hotel, transport and medication from the same model as the all-in estimates — labeled estimates, not quotes. If your quote at home is below the line, staying home wins on pure price; quality, waits and urgency are separate calls — see the MCI index above.

- Video consultation with a specialist live case discussion after the review Not yet priced
- In-person specialist consultation reference price if you're already here · Oncologist from $37
A second opinion changes the plan often enough that specialists expect to be asked for one — it's a normal request, not an insult. Remote-review prices are being collected per hospital.

Choosing between the options
Modeled previewWhat actually decides between the treatments above — and the checklist an expert would put to the specialist.
Decision factors
- 1How advanced the condition is — stage or severity narrows the menu first
- 2Your goal: cure, control, symptom relief or appearance
- 3Downtime you can afford — the options below differ by weeks
- 4Total cost with travel and follow-up, not just the sticker price
- 5Tumor biology — some options only work for specific types
Ask the specialist
- 1Will my case be reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumor board?
- 2How many of this exact procedure did you perform last year?
- 3What is your complication and revision rate for it?
- 4What anesthesia will be used, and who administers it?
- 5Who manages my aftercare once I fly home, and how?
- 6What exactly is included in the quoted price — and what isn't?
A planning frame — suitability is always the specialist's call.
