How Much Does Immunotherapy for lung cancer Cost in China?

Immunotherapy for lung cancer in China typically costs from $4,200 to $9,800. The final price depends on the drug origin, hospital grade, and treatment cycles. Patients save approximately 92% compared to the US. In the US, the average price for similar treatment is $90,000. Most Chinese protocols include infusions, regular monitoring, and required laboratory tests.

  • Domestic PD-1 inhibitors: These drugs are often 40-50% more affordable than imported alternatives.
  • Imported Western brands: These typically carry a 30-50% premium over domestic Chinese immunotherapy regimens.
  • Major medical hubs: Treatment in Beijing or Shanghai often costs 15-20% more than regional centers.
  • Diagnostic requirements: Pre-treatment PET-CT scans and PD-L1 testing typically add to the initial budget.

This JCI-accredited facility serves over 30,000 international patients and combines immunotherapy with unique local methods. These include NanoKnife and cryosurgery.

In general satisfied with everything, Therefore, I can safely recommend it
I chose this clinic after reading and looking at reviews. High-tech equipment and the approach of doctors, according to reviews in clinics in other countries offered removal of an organ such as kidney, in this clinic on the contrary to do everything possible to save, so I decided, in my country and in neighbouring Russia I could not make a diagnosis or explain what is there, suspicion of neoplasm, but I did not get a specific answer after all the examinations, here in Fuda clarified everything and explained in detail, made a complete examination, equipment is high level, in general satisfied with everything, p Therefore, I can safely recommend it.
When the test results came back and the doctor was happy to tell me everything was fine.
It's basically fine.

The coordinator was helpful and provide the information as far as possible. The hospital arranged a native Cantonese speaker who acted as a translator. This arrangement facilitated the communication. The consultation was abit rush as the doctor had other engagement and needed to leave for urgent duties. On the treatment aspect, hope to have more explanation and medical advice. On request, the coordinator brought us to visit the wards and private rooms and that helped me to understand the environment if I choose to treat in Fuda hospital.

"In principle, the visit went very well, only good impressions remained
In principle, the visit went very well, only good impressions remained. Now there are certain problems, because doctors at home do not agree with the diagnosis that was made in China, but we were provided with professional help at the Food Clinic. Despite the fact that the full-time translator was on vacation and we took it on our own, the visit went very well. The rooms are very good, they look like 5 star rooms. As soon as we arrived, the nurses came to the ward, measured the pressure, helped in everything. In general, the clinic staff is friendly and helpful.

We are very grateful to the Food Clinic and Bookimed for their care, for the hope given
The stay went well, the doctor and staff inspire confidence. The ward is good, the main thing is that the attendant can always be with the patient. Given that Russia has refused us, we are very grateful to the Food Clinic and Bookimed for their care, for the hope given.
