How Much Does Chemotherapy Cost in Spain?

The cost of chemotherapy in Spain typically ranges from $2,500 to $4,500. Prices can vary depending on the type of cancer, the specific drugs used (such as platinum-based, taxanes, or targeted therapies), the number of treatment cycles, and the hospital’s reputation. In the United States, the average cost is $13,000 (according to the American Cancer Society). Chemotherapy in Spain is about 73% less than in the U.S.

Spanish hospitals generally include oncologist consultations, the full course of chemotherapy drugs, infusion sessions, nursing care, and basic bloodwork in the quoted price. In the U.S., the base price often covers only the drugs and infusion, with separate billing for lab work, physician fees, and supportive medications. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each clinic before starting treatment.
