How much does a session of radiation for cancer cost in the US?
The cost of a session of radiation for cancer can vary widely in the US depending on a number of factors such as the type of cancer being treated, the location of the treatment center, the type of radiation therapy used, and the patient's insurance coverage. According to a report by the National Cancer Institute, the average cost of a single radiation therapy session ranges from $2,500 to $5,000, depending on the type of treatment and the location of the treatment center. This cost typically includes the physician's fee, the cost of the radiation therapy equipment, and any necessary imaging or lab tests. However, it's important to note that this is just an average estimate, and the actual cost of radiation therapy can vary significantly based on individual circumstances. It's always a good idea to check with your insurance provider and treatment center to get an accurate estimate of the cost of your specific treatment plan.
