About the clinic

Diagnostic Approach
The clinic begins with a thorough diagnostic package. This typically costs between $3,000 and $6,500. The package includes a full medical consultation and a suite of advanced tests. It covers blood tests, bone marrow biopsy, and genetic tests like flow cytometry and FISH. Imaging such as MRI and CT scans are also part of the plan. Patients receive a 10-day hotel stay with this all-inclusive approach. Individual diagnostic tests are available separately. These can include a tumor marker blood test for around $100 or an MRI of one area costing about $400 to $500.
Available Treatment Options
Emsey Hospital offers the full spectrum of treatments for leukemia. Treatment plans are tailored to each patient's specific diagnosis.
- Chemotherapy: The first-line systemic therapy typically runs $13,000–$15,000. This covers one complete chemotherapy session. The package includes medical monitoring, all necessary medications, and a 30-day hospital stay with meals.
- Autologous Bone Marrow Transplantation: This transplant uses the patient's own stem cells. The cost is typically around $39,000. It includes extensive pre-transplant testing, the cell procurement process, and a 60-day hospital stay. Patients also receive 30 days in a guest house for recovery.
- Allogeneic Bone Marrow Transplantation: This uses stem cells from a donor. A transplant from a related donor may cost $60,000–$65,000.
