The cost of androgen deprivation therapy in Germany typically ranges from $4,000 to $8,000. Prices can vary depending on the clinic, the oncologist’s experience, the specific medications or surgical approach used (such as LHRH agonists or orchiectomy), and the complexity of each patient’s case. In the United States, the average cost is $12,500 (per ASCO). That means androgen deprivation therapy in Germany is about 52% less than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-op blood tests, all prescribed post-operative medications, follow-up visits, and personalized care plans. English-speaking staff and 24/7 patient support are standard. Meals during clinic visits and detailed post-op instructions are often provided. In the U.S., costs for medications, lab work, and follow-ups are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what’s included at each clinic.
