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 $16 per visit
- Monitoring imagingComputed Tomography (CT) Scan $31 per scan
- Ongoing medication Not yet sourced
- Published annual cost of management Not yet sourced
Treating — one-time pathway
$2,080–$2,600
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 $2,080 | ≈ $2,570 | ≈ $4,650 |
| Colorectal Surgery 5-night modeled trip | from $2,600 | ≈ $2,570 | ≈ $5,170 |
| Laparoscopic Surgery 5-night modeled trip | from $2,600 | ≈ $2,570 | ≈ $5,170 |
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.

- 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

- 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?

- 6What exactly is included in the quoted price — and what isn't?
A planning frame — suitability is always the specialist's call.
