The cost of lung cancer surgery in Ukraine typically ranges from $10,000 to $18,000. Prices vary depending on the type of surgery (lobectomy, pneumonectomy, wedge resection), the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, and whether advanced techniques like video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) are used. In the United States, the average cost is $77,500 (per the American Cancer Society). This means lung cancer surgery in Ukraine is about 82% less than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals generally include pre-op diagnostics (CT, PET-CT), anesthesia, surgery, hospital stay, pathology, and basic post-op care in the price. In the U.S., these items are often billed separately, with extra charges for specialist consults, ICU care, and follow-ups. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic.

When considering Lung cancer surgery, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:
Lobectomy is a surgical procedure that removes one lobe of the lung to treat lung cancer or other lung diseases.
A surgical procedure that removes a small, wedge-shaped part of the lung containing a tumor or abnormal tissue.
A pulmonary surgery that involves removing a specific segment of the lung affected by disease, often used to treat localized lung cancer.
