The cost of pancreatic cancer surgery in Ukraine typically ranges from $20,000 to $30,000. Pricing varies depending on the surgical method (Whipple procedure, distal pancreatectomy), tumor complexity, the hospital, and the surgeon’s experience. In the United States, the average cost is $250,000 (per ACS). Pancreatic cancer surgery in Ukraine is about 90% less than in the U.S.
Ukrainian hospitals usually include pre-op diagnostics, surgery, anesthesia, hospital stay, pathology, and basic post-op care in the price. In the U.S., the listed price often covers only the surgery, with anesthesia, imaging, pathology, and extended care billed separately. Always confirm exactly what your package includes before booking.
