Medical Treatment Costs in Germany
International-patient pricing is usually case-specific and should follow specialist review.
Compare the clinical plan before comparing the price
Liver resection, ablation, TACE, SIRT/Y-90 and SBRT are different episodes of care. A lower headline price is not meaningful if two quotations assume different treatment strategies, surgical extent, numbers of sessions, diagnostics or inpatient requirements.
Liver resection / hepatectomy cost
The estimate depends heavily on whether surgery is limited or major, the operative approach, reconstruction needs, inpatient recovery and complications.
Read cost guide →RFA / MWA ablation cost
Cost drivers include imaging, anesthesia, number and location of lesions, probes or antennas, inpatient observation and follow-up imaging.
Read cost guide →TACE cost
Understand angiography, embolic and chemotherapy materials, inpatient care, repeat-session planning and why one internet procedure price is not a complete treatment estimate.
Read cost guide →SIRT / Y-90 cost
