The cost of chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer in Germany typically ranges from $13,000 to $24,000. Prices vary depending on the chemotherapy drug regimen (such as FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine-based protocols), the number of treatment cycles, and the hospital’s level of specialization. In the United States, the average cost is $35,000 (per ACS). This means chemotherapy in Germany is about 47% less expensive than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include the initial oncology consultation, lab and imaging tests, chemotherapy drugs, infusion administration, nursing care, and routine follow-up visits in their package. In the U.S., costs for medications, infusion services, and supportive treatments are often billed separately. Always confirm exactly what is included in the quoted price at each clinic.
