BREAST CANCER TREATMENT IN INDIA
Breast cancer treatment in India
Breast cancer teams in Delhi NCR plan surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and radiation together. We share your biopsy and scans with experienced breast oncology teams and get you a treatment plan and written estimate before you travel.
Medical recommendations come from your qualified treating clinicians.
How breast cancer is treated
Treatment depends on the stage and the tumour’s receptors (ER, PR and HER2). A plan often combines several treatments:
- Breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy, with sentinel lymph node biopsy
- Breast reconstruction, at the same time or later
- Chemotherapy before or after surgery
- HER2-targeted therapy for HER2-positive cancer
- Hormone therapy for receptor-positive cancer
- Radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery
Why breast cancer treatment costs differ
The main factors are:
- The stage and type of cancer
- The surgery and any reconstruction
- The chemotherapy and targeted drugs
- The number of radiation sessions
- Tests such as PET-CT and receptor testing
What an estimate usually covers
Ask for an estimate for each part of the plan (surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and radiation) and which parts can continue at home.
How long to plan for in India
About two to three weeks for surgery; radiation adds about three to six weeks; chemotherapy runs in cycles, some of which may continue at home.
Choosing a breast cancer team
Choose a centre with breast surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists and a tumour board, and ask about reconstruction options.
