The cost of chemotherapy for a brain tumor in Germany typically ranges from $15,000 to $30,000. Prices vary depending on the type of chemotherapy drugs, the number of treatment cycles, the hospital, and the complexity of the case. In the United States, the average cost is $30,000 (according to the American Cancer Society). Chemotherapy for a brain tumor in Germany is about 25% less than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include diagnostics, drug administration, nursing care, blood tests, and follow-up visits in the total price. In the U.S., costs for drugs, infusion procedures, lab work, and hospital stays are often billed separately. Patients should confirm exactly what is included at each clinic before starting treatment.
