The cost of a throat cancer operation in Mexico typically ranges from $20,000 to $30,000. Prices can vary depending on the hospital, surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the cancer (stage, location), and whether advanced techniques like robotic or laser surgery are used. In the United States, the average cost is $120,000 (per ACS). This means throat cancer surgery in Mexico can be about 79% less than in the U.S.
Mexican hospitals usually include pre-op tests, general anesthesia, the surgery itself, hospital stay, pathology, and basic post-op care in the overall price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgeon’s fee, with anesthesia, hospitalization, pathology, and follow-up billed separately. Always confirm what each hospital includes in their package.
