How Much Does Chemotherapy Cost in Austria?

The cost of chemotherapy in Austria typically ranges from $2,500 to $5,500. Prices vary depending on the clinic, the oncologist’s experience, the type and number of chemotherapy cycles, and whether targeted or combination therapy is used. In the United States, the average cost is $13,000 (per ACS). Chemotherapy in Austria is about 69% less than in the U.S.

Austrian clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-treatment blood tests, personalized treatment planning, all prescribed medications, meals during clinic visits, follow-up consultations, and 24/7 patient support. In the U.S., costs often cover only the drugs and infusion, with separate charges for consultations, lab tests, and supportive care. Always confirm exactly what each clinic’s package includes.
