The cost of radiofrequency ablation of the liver in Germany typically ranges from $12,000 to $20,000. Prices can vary depending on the clinic, the experience of the interventional radiologist, whether the procedure is open or percutaneous, and the number of tumors treated. In the United States, the average cost is $22,500 (per ACR). This means radiofrequency ablation of the liver in Germany is about 29% less expensive than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op imaging (CT or MRI), anesthesia, the ablation procedure, hospital stay (1–3 days), medications, and follow-up scans. In the U.S., the price often covers only the procedure itself, with separate charges for anesthesia, imaging, and hospital stay. Always confirm exactly what’s included in your treatment package at each clinic.
