Two main protocols are available. The R-DA-EPOCH protocol is a common intensive regimen. The MATRIX protocol is another option for specific lymphomas. The exact price for these chemotherapy courses varies per patient.
Surgical Treatment: Bone Marrow Transplantation
For eligible patients, stem cell transplantation is a key procedure. Liv Hospital's center has performed over 1,000 such transplants. There are two main types.
Autologous Transplant uses the patient's own stem cells. It typically costs around $30,000. This price includes the required hospital stay.
Allogenic Transplant uses stem cells from a donor. A transplant from a matched related donor costs around $86,000. Using cells from an unrelated matched donor costs around $110,000. Both prices cover the hospital stay.
