The cost of brachytherapy in Germany typically ranges from $10,000 to $15,000. Prices vary depending on the cancer type, the clinic, and the complexity of the treatment plan. The experience of the radiation oncologist and whether advanced imaging is used also affect costs. In the United States, the average price is $25,000 (per ASTRO). Brachytherapy in Germany is about 50% less expensive than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include the initial consultation, pre-operative blood tests, personalized treatment planning, post-operative medication, follow-up visits, and 24/7 patient support. English-speaking staff and meals during clinic visits are also provided. In the U.S., costs often cover only the procedure, with separate charges for consultations, imaging, and follow-up care. Always confirm what’s included at each clinic.
