What does the CyberKnife prostate cancer cost depend on?
The cost of CyberKnife treatment for prostate cancer patients is affected by the following reasons:
- CyberKnife model. The treatment of prostate cancer with CyberKnife M6 is about 10-15% higher than with CyberKnife VSI (older CyberKnife model). However, the effectiveness of the procedure is the same, but CyberKnife M6 provides irradiation more precisely. So, if the price is a key criterion for you, choose hospitals where VSI CyberKnife is applied.
- The place for treatment. The CyberKnife treatment cost for prostate cancer differs from country to country. European medical centers provide this procedure 2 times more expensive than Turkish ones. It is caused by the living wage within the states. You can get treatment by CyberKnife M6 (the newest modification) in Turkey 50% cheaper than on CyberKnife VSI (older modification) in Germany or Spain.
- Number of CyberKnife sessions. The prices, given on this page, are pointed per one CyberKnife session. It may need 1-5 sessions to treat prostate cancer. Only a doctor can determine the exact cost of CyberKnife treatment for prostate cancer.
