The cost of radiation therapy for colorectal cancer in Spain typically ranges from $10,000 to $20,000. Prices vary depending on the number of sessions, the technology used (such as IMRT or 3D-CRT), and the hospital’s reputation. The experience of the radiation oncologist and whether combined treatments (chemoradiation) are included also affect costs. In the United States, the average cost is $35,000 (per ASTRO). This means radiation therapy in Spain is about 57% less than in the U.S.
Spanish hospitals generally include pre-treatment planning (CT/MRI simulation), all prescribed radiation sessions, routine bloodwork, and follow-up consultations in the price. Supportive care, such as symptom management and post-treatment monitoring, is also commonly covered. In the U.S., listed prices often include only the treatment sessions, with separate charges for planning, imaging, and follow-up. Always confirm the full list of included services with your chosen clinic.
