The cost of radiotherapy for prostate cancer in Germany typically ranges from $9,300 to $18,000. Prices vary depending on the type of radiotherapy (IMRT, IGRT, or proton therapy), the technology used (such as linear accelerator or CyberKnife), the clinic, and the number of treatment sessions required. In the United States, the average price is $35,000 (according to NCCN). Radiotherapy for prostate cancer in Germany is about 61% less than in the U.S.
German clinics usually include initial consultations, treatment planning with MRI/CT, daily image guidance, radiation sessions, and follow-up care. In the U.S., costs often cover only the treatment itself, with separate billing for planning, imaging, and follow-ups. Patients should confirm exactly which services are included at each clinic.
