The cost of pancreatic cancer surgery in Spain typically ranges from $35,000 to $60,000. The price can vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience with complex oncologic procedures, and the type of surgery performed (such as Whipple procedure or distal pancreatectomy). In the United States, the average cost is $250,000 (per ACS). This means pancreatic cancer surgery in Spain is about 81% less expensive than in the U.S.
Spanish hospitals usually offer packages that include pre-operative diagnostics, the surgery itself, anesthesia, hospital stay (ICU if needed), medications, and follow-up care. In the U.S., many of these services—especially anesthesia, ICU, and post-op care—are billed separately. Patients should always confirm exactly what is included in the quoted price at each clinic.
