summary

My uncle always felt very uncomfortable during this period of time, so my cousin took him to the hospital for examination. As a result, the doctor said that he had pancreatic cancer and had to be treated in time. However, the situation of his family was not very good and he was afraid that he could not afford the expenses. Now let's look at the cost of treatment for pancreatic cancer.

How much is the treatment cost of pancreatic cancer

First: the factors that affect the cost of the disease: in general, the early stage of pancreatic cancer is not serious, in the case of no metastasis of the tumor, surgical treatment is the preferred treatment, at this time is also the period of the lowest cost of treatment. However, surgical treatment is to eliminate the tumor by local rapid resection of tumor tissue, but it is easy to miss small lesions, resulting in the spread of cancer cells. Even if the primary tumor and the surrounding lymph nodes are removed by surgery, the metastatic foci transferred to other organs will still form metastatic tumors quickly.

Second: the influence factors of hospitals on costs: most patients think that the charges of authoritative and well-known hospitals will be more expensive, while local or private hospitals will be relatively cheaper, so they choose some small local hospitals without safety guarantee for treatment. In fact, many private hospitals often allow patients to do all kinds of physical examination before treatment, so as to prolong the treatment cycle and make profits from the cost of examination. In addition, local hospitals are often unable to achieve the ideal treatment effect because experts are not authoritative enough, technology is not strong enough, equipment is not advanced enough, environmental disinfection is not thorough enough, and so on.

Third, the cost of treatment is different. The use of traditional treatment methods, can not achieve the purpose of cure, but also prone to recurrence and metastasis, and the disease is prone to repeat over a long period of time, the accumulated cost is not a small number. Surgical treatment, high risk, high cost, for the elderly body can not bear, so it is not recommended. The side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are even more terrible than cancer, and the cost is more expensive, so it is not recommended.
