The cost of removal of rhabdomyosarcoma in Germany typically ranges from $50,000 to $90,000. Prices can vary depending on the tumor’s location, whether the surgery is open or minimally invasive, the hospital’s reputation, and the surgeon’s experience with pediatric or adult oncology cases. In the United States, the average cost is $160,000 (per NCCN guidelines). This means removal of rhabdomyosarcoma in Germany may cost about 56% less than in the U.S.
German hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics (MRI, CT), multidisciplinary team consultation, surgery under general anesthesia, pathology, a hospital stay (often 5–10 days), and follow-up care. In the U.S., many of these are billed separately—especially imaging, anesthesia, and extended hospital stays. Always confirm which services, such as genetic testing, advanced imaging, or additional therapies, are included in your package.
