The cost of Retinoblastoma surgery includes:
Preoperative diagnostic tests cost, some of which may include Eye examination, MRI, etc.
Surgery cost (Depends upon the type and size of the tumour and the extent to which the tumour has spread)
Type of surgery (Unilateral retinoblastoma, Enucleation, etc.)
Post-Operative cost (there might be a need for chemotherapy or Radiotherapy before or post-surgery)
Medicines
Patient's hospital stay
The overall cost of the procedure also varies based on the patient's condition and preferences. Some of these factors are:
Type of hospital and room opted (General, Twin sharing, or single room)
The stage and type of cancer
Patients may require repeated investigation through PET CT and related tests Post-surgery / Chemotherapy / Radiation Therapy.
Any additional tests may be required to know the status of the disease during the course of treatment.
An extended stay at the Hospital
Cost of accommodation during follow-ups, in case the patient is not a local resident [may take longer duration in case of chemotherapy or radiotherapy sessions]
Enucleation is the surgery done to treat retinoblastoma and it is the safest way to remove retinoblastoma. Your doctor will conduct a retinal examination and take MRI scans, CT or CAT scans, and ultrasound imaging as well. The package typically includes the cost of the tests.
The drugs used at the time of chemotherapy to help reduce the tumor include vincristine (Oncovin), etoposide (Toposar), and carboplatin (Paraplatin). The medicine cost is generally included in the package when the patient is in the hospital. On the other hand, if the patient buys medicines outside the hospital, they are not included in the package.
The main types of treatment for retinoblastoma are radiation therapy, surgery (enucleation), and laser therapy (photocoagulation). Thus your stay at the hospital depends on the type of treatment you pursue. If chemotherapy is employed, it takes about 6 months to shrink the tumor.
