3 Recent Chemotherapy Reviews in India: Check Real Patient Experience

Anonymous • Breast cancer
Russian Federation
Aug 19, 2018

Verified review.
Doctors of the clinic are qualified, speak English well. But the organization of treatment, that is, all these coordinators and translators already when you are in India, is a huge minus of the process. Simply huge. Expectations of everything and everywhere for hours, sometimes at times, poor awareness, a terrible accent on Russian, that one can understand a lot to the exact opposite, ignorance of medical terms, that is, only life can translate. I accompanied mamutna treatment, I speak English a little, therefore something accelerated due to this. One patient should not go, look for an accompanying person if other countries do not fit the prices for treatment. If someone is traveling alone or an accompanying person does not know English, the process will spoil your nerves. The very examination and treatment, surgery, everything is at a good level. But before the ability to organize everything painlessly for the patient, it will still come to BLK not soon. I do not know, as in other clinics in India, I think it's the same. Translators are different here, and the problems are the same. So in the whole country I think. But if there is no way out, you can entrust local doctors to the health. The patient is well fed in the hospital and the accompanying person. Chambers of any size isolate the patient with curtains around the perimeter, you see only the staff, but keep in mind that the multiple rooms are very noisy. Who prays in Arabic for the whole room, who sings the song, who plays the game with sound effects, who is screaming on the phone, because there is still no silence, people still have groans for the illnesses of people ... they do not do anybody for unconnected phones, loud talks and other inadequacy.

Was on vacation in the state of Goa. Before the trip, he performed an operation to remove prostate adenoma, according to the results of a biopsy, he found signs of adenocarcinoma. In order to have different opinions, the doctors decided to consult with a local oncourologist from Manipal hospital. Ostap Bondarenko from Bookimed arranged for me to see a doctor. Before that, he attempted to contact the hospital on his own, but they did not respond.  Everything is well organized there. I like it. All questions discussed. Translator Svetlana first discussed everything with me and clarified the terminology. And then at the reception everything is available to the doctor translated my questions and his advice to me.  The doctor is very competent and explained to me all possible treatment options and the necessary research.

FAQ about Chemotherapy in India

How much does chemotherapy cost?

According to information from Bookimed partner clinics, the minimum price for chemotherapy is $200 - it is provided by medical centers in India . Turkey is also among the countries with the lowest cost of treatment - from $600 for 1 course of chemotherapy and Spain - from $520. The average price is $2,750, the maximum price is $20,900. Ask your Bookimed coordinating doctor how much chemotherapy costs in your case.

What affects the cost of chemotherapy?

The main factors that affect the cost of chemotherapy include:

  • The drug and its dosage. Each medicine has its own cost, and it increases with increasing dosage.
  • Number of courses. In most cases, the prices for chemotherapy provided by clinics in their price lists are per course. Therefore, the longer the treatment, the higher its cost. However, some medical centers offer prices for all treatments.
  • scope of diagnostics. Laboratory and instrumental studies that must be completed to select a therapy protocol increase its final cost. Therefore, if the patient has already undergone some kind of diagnostics at the place of residence, its results (discs with CT, MRI images, glasses with histological material) must be taken with you to the clinic. If they are informative for the doctor, the procedure will not have to be repeated - this will reduce the final cost of treatment.
  • The need for hospitalization / residence in the country. If a patient chooses a clinic, for example, in Israel , he does not have to undergo treatment there. If the condition and circumstances allow, it is possible to receive a treatment regimen from a doctor in an Israeli hospital, purchase medicine and undergo therapy at the place of residence. This reduces overall costs.
  • Selected camps and clinics. Each country has its own pricing policy for medical services, so they can differ several times. For example, the minimum price for chemotherapy in Turkey is $600, in Germany it starts from $1,400. At the same time, the treatment is carried out according to the same international protocols, using original, certified drugs. Also, prices may vary in different clinics of the same country.

Bookimed assistance in choosing a clinic and organizing treatment does not affect the cost of chemotherapy! With us, you will pay for it the same amount as you would pay if you contacted the clinic directly. Find out more about how we work.

What are the benefits of chemotherapy package prices?

Package prices for chemotherapy are available at some medical centers. In addition to the main procedure, it includes additional medical and non-medical options.

The choice of package depends on the diagnosis, since each of them involves the treatment of a specific type of cancer and includes the appropriate diagnostic methods and types of surgery.

The advantage of package offers is that the patient immediately understands what the cost of the final treatment will be, what is included in it. In some cases, they even allow you to reduce costs, since the price of treatment within the package can be lower than if you add together the sum of all procedures.

How much does chemotherapy for cancer cost in different countries?

To give you an idea of how much cancer chemotherapy costs in different countries, we have prepared a comparison table. Please get to know her.

The country

Minimum price

Germany $ 1,040
Israel $ 620
Turkey $ 600

When is chemotherapy indicated?

In most cases, doctors prescribe chemotherapy for patients with stage 2-4 cancer when needed:

  • prevent the return of the disease;
  • reduce the tumor for surgery;
  • reduce symptoms;
  • prolong remission;
  • completely destroy the neoplasm.

In some cases, oncologists resort to chemotherapy at the 1st stage of cancer - it depends on its type, characteristics of the tumor and characteristics of the body.

Cancer types for which chemotherapy is indicated include:

What are the types of chemotherapy?

There are different types of classification of chemotherapy depending on the drugs prescribed and their purpose.

According to the number of drugs that the patient takes during treatment, the National Cancer Institute distinguishes :

  • Monochemotherapy is treatment with one drug to which the tumor is most sensitive.
  • Polychemotherapy is treatment with several drugs at the same time or in a certain sequence.

Depending on the task of treatment, the Chemocare.com information portal distinguishes the following types of chemotherapy:

  • Neoadjuvant (preoperative) - is aimed at reducing the tumor before its removal, allows you to save the tissues of the organ as much as possible.
  • Adjuvant (prophylactic) - takes place before surgery and allows you to destroy tumor cells that have not been removed to prevent the return of the disease.
  • Therapeutic - its task is to completely destroy the malignant tumor without the use of additional treatment.
  • Induction - allows you to achieve remission (the period when the disease does not show symptoms). In most cases, doctors prescribe this type of chemistry to patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
  • Consolidating - allows you to maintain remission in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
  • The first line ( standard) - which has the highest probability of effectiveness for a particular type of cancer.
  • Second-line - it is prescribed if, after first-line chemotherapy, the disease has not responded or has returned.
  • Palliative - helps to reduce symptoms and improve the quality of life of a patient with advanced stages of the disease.

How is chemotherapy used? Traditional and innovative ways

The method of taking a chemotherapy drug depends on its type and characteristics of the diagnosis. The main methods of the American Society of Clinical Oncology include:

  • Intravenous - takes place with the help of a dropper. During the treatment period, a special catheter remains in the patient's arm - this allows you not to make punctures in the vein every time before taking the drug, thereby reducing pain and simplifying the process.
  • Oral - suitable for drugs that are produced in the form of tablets, capsules or a special liquid.
  • Injection - takes place with the help of a subcutaneous or intramuscular injection in the arm, leg or abdomen.
  • Arterial - the introduction of a chemotherapy drug into the main artery that feeds the tumor.
  • Local is a treatment during which a chemotherapy drug is used in the form of a cream, which is applied to the skin where the neoplasm was.

Innovative chemotherapy methods include intraperitoneal PIPAC and HIPEC . Doctors use them for multiple metastases (carcinomatosis) in the peritoneum.

During HIPEC , doctors inject a heated anticancer drug into the abdominal cavity and remove it after a while. Due to the high temperature, the drug penetrates deep into the organs and destroys more cancer cells than traditional chemo.

With PIPAC, the medicine is sprayed onto the internal organs, which envelops them. Due to the high pressure, small particles penetrate deep into the tumor, which allows you to reduce the dose of chemo.

What are the possible side effects after chemotherapy?

According to the American Cancer Society , side effects occur in most patients, however they may vary from case to case. The most common are:

  • nausea and vomiting;
  • hair loss;
  • weakness;
  • loss of appetite;
  • hearing impairment;
  • lack of coordination;
  • disruption of the intestines.

As a rule, if side effects occur, chemotherapy is continued according to the established scheme. Moreover, if the condition worsens, it is possible to review it or completely stop treatment.
