The cost of radiotherapy for breast cancer in Germany typically ranges from $8,700 to $11,700. Prices can vary depending on the type of radiotherapy (external beam, IMRT, or brachytherapy), the number of treatment sessions, and the clinic's technology. In the United States, the average price is $40,000 (per ASTRO). That means radiotherapy for breast cancer in Germany is about 75% less expensive than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include pre-treatment planning (CT/MRI scans), radiation sessions, on-site medical supervision, and follow-up care in their pricing. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the treatment itself, with separate charges for planning, imaging, and follow-up. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each clinic before starting treatment.
