Discover the Best Clinics and Costs for Retinoblastoma treatment in Israel 2024

The cost for treatment of retinoblastoma may vary due to the following factors:

• the country chosen for treatment
• experience of an eye cancer specialist
• the method applied for treatment.

For example, the retinoblastoma treatment cost in Turkey is approx. $10,000-12,000, in Israel — $20,000-25,000, in Germany — $35,000-55,000.

Retinoblastoma treatment options:

• intra-arterial chemotherapy (a type of chemo which influences the tumor directly without affecting healthy tissues. BUT an applying of this method is possible only if a patient hasn’t started undergoing a general chemotherapy. In this case, an eye becomes insensitive to intra-arterial chemo);
• cryotherapy (freezing destroys malignant cells with a cold gas);
• laser coagulation (a procedure when a laser through a lens directs to a pathological area of retina and destroys a tumor).

These methods allow to save an eye and visual functions. If retinoblastoma is diagnosed late, and a patient has already lost the visual functions, in this case eye oncologist makes an enucleation — a removal of an eye. After a surgery specialists install prosthesis for aesthetic appearance.
