Prostate cancer starts in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system below the bladder. Early disease is often silent; later signs include a weak or interrupted urine stream, frequent night-time urination, blood in urine or semen and persistent pelvic or lower-back pain.

Work-up:

  • PSA blood test and digital rectal exam
  • Ultrasound or MRI of the prostate
  • Biopsy — the only test that confirms the diagnosis

Treatment options: depending on stage and grade, choices range from active surveillance to surgery (open or robotic prostatectomy), radiation therapy, hormone therapy and chemotherapy. Compare the priced options in the treatment menu above.

What diagnosis costs in Bangkok

Imported

Your first spend is the work-up, not the treatment — the typical items, priced from this registry where we hold them.

Priced items together ≈ $3,750–$3,750 — if your work-up needs every priced step; unpriced items come on top.

Consultation fees from our specialist registry; procedure prices from this condition's mapped diagnostics. Unverified prices are labeled on their own pages.

Managing it vs treating it

Modeled preview

The 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 $77 per visit
  • Monitoring imaging Not yet sourced
  • Ongoing medication Not yet sourced
  • Published annual cost of management Not yet sourced

Treating — one-time pathway

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 preview

The 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
Robotic-Assisted Surgery (da Vinci) 5-night modeled trip from $5,950 ≈ $2,870 ≈ $8,820
Prostatectomy 5-night modeled trip from $24,700 ≈ $2,870 ≈ $27,500

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.

Second opinion first — before you commit

Imported

Having your existing diagnosis re-read here is the cheapest way to test a hospital's quality before booking anything. Prices land per hospital with sources — never estimated.

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.

The care pathway

Modeled preview

How the treatment decision is typically made for this condition — your specialist confirms the path for your case.

    Diagnosis & tests

    The diagnosis is confirmed with Tissue and Specimen Analysis (Biopsy), which also show how far it has progressed (staging).

  3. 3

    Treatment options

    Options include Hormonal Therapy (Endocrine Therapy for breast, prostate, thyroid cancers), Hormonal Therapy for Prostate Cancer, Prostatectomy, Robotic-Assisted Surgery (e.g., da Vinci Prostatectomy), Radiation Therapy, External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) or Chemotherapy — weighed on outcome, downtime, risk and total cost. See the priced menu and decision factors below.

  4. 4

    Treatment

    The chosen treatment plan is carried out — every option below links to its own price page with a recovery timeline.

  5. 5

    Follow-up & monitoring

Choosing between the options

Modeled preview

What 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

  1. 1Will my case be reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumor board?
  2. 2How many of this exact procedure did you perform last year?
  3. 3What is your complication and revision rate for it?
  4. 4What anesthesia will be used, and who administers it?
  5. 5Who manages my aftercare once I fly home, and how?
  6. 6What exactly is included in the quoted price — and what isn't?

A planning frame — suitability is always the specialist's call.
