Melanoma surgery in Spain typically costs from $4,500 to $9,500. The final price depends on the surgical technique, tumor depth, and clinic location in cities like Barcelona, Madrid, or Pamplona. In the US, similar procedures cost around $20,000 on average. Patients in Spain generally see savings of around 65%. Common inclusions involve the surgical intervention, local anesthesia, and initial post-operative follow-up.
Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing a center with specialized units offers superior value. At Centro Médico Teknon, Dr. Joan Ramon Garces Gatnau has performed over 2,000 Mohs surgeries. This expertise provides higher cure rates than standard excision. While premium clinics like Clinica Universidad de Navarra are JCI-accredited, they still offer competitive oncology packages starting around $3,000.
