The cost of breast cancer treatment in India typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,500, depending on the stage of cancer, type of treatment, hospital selection, and duration of therapy. Breast cancer treatment follows a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring personalised care based on tumor biology, hormone receptor status, and disease progression.

Treatment options may include breast cancer surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or a combination of these. Advanced techniques such as robotic surgery and oncoplastic breast reconstruction help achieve optimal oncological and cosmetic outcomes.

India has become a leading destination for affordable breast cancer treatment due to its state-of-the-art oncology centers, experienced medical and surgical oncologists, and access to internationally approved cancer therapies. Patients receive high-quality, evidence-based cancer care at significantly lower costs than Western countries, along with personalised support and short waiting periods.

Cost Range of Breast Cancer Treatment in India

Types of Breast Cancer Treatment	Treatment Cost In USD
Breast-Conserving Surgery / Lumpectomy Breast-Conserving Surgery (Lumpectomy) removes a cancerous tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue while preserving the breast’s natural shape. Often paired with radiation therapy, it offers comparable survival rates to mastectomy for early-stage cancer, prioritizing both oncologic safety and cosmetic outcomes.	$4000–$5000
Modified Radical Mastectomy Modified Radical Mastectomy removes the entire breast (including nipple/areola) and axillary lymph nodes, treating invasive cancers while preserving chest muscles for better function. Unlike radical mastectomy, it reduces morbidity without compromising oncologic outcomes, often followed by reconstruction or adjuvant therapy.	$3800-$4500
Mastectomy with Reconstruction Surgery Mastectomy with Reconstruction combines complete breast removal (for cancer treatment or risk reduction) with immediate reconstruction—using implants or autologous tissue—to restore breast contour. This single-stage approach minimizes emotional impact, reduces additional surgeries, and aligns oncologic safety with aesthetic preservation.	$8500–$10000
Hormone Therapy Hormone Therapy blocks or lowers estrogen/progesterone in hormone receptor-positive breast cancers, slowing tumor growth. Taken as daily oral pills (e.g., tamoxifen, aromatase inhibitors) or injections for 5–10 years, it reduces recurrence risks but may cause menopausal symptoms or bone density loss.	$100-$500
Targeted Therapy Targeted Therapy uses IV drugs like monoclonal antibodies (e.g., trastuzumab for HER2+) or kinase inhibitors to attack specific cancer cell markers (ER/PR/HER2). Unlike chemotherapy, it spares healthy cells, improving efficacy and reducing side effects, but requires biomarker testing for eligibility.	$500–$800

Types of Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast Conservative Surgery (Lumpectomy / Oncoplasty)

Removal of the tumor while preserving the breast shape, often combined with radiotherapy.

Modified Radical Mastectomy

Complete removal of the breast along with axillary lymph nodes.

Mastectomy with Reconstruction

Removal of breast tissue followed by immediate or delayed reconstruction using implants or patient’s own tissue.

Chemotherapy

Systemic drug therapy to destroy cancer cells, usually given in multiple cycles.

Radiation Therapy

High-energy radiation to eliminate residual cancer cells after surgery.

Targeted Therapy

Precision drugs targeting HER2, ER/PR receptors.

Immunotherapy

Boosts the immune system to fight aggressive or recurrent breast cancer.

Hormone Therapy

Oral medication for hormone-positive breast cancers to prevent recurrence.

Types of Breast Cancer

Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) – Most common type; begins in milk ducts and spreads.
Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) – Early-stage, non-invasive cancer in the milk ducts.
Lobular Carcinoma in Situ (LCIS) – Abnormal cells in lobules; increases risk.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer (IBC) – Rare but aggressive.
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer – Lacks hormone receptors and HER2; more challenging to treat.

How Much Does Breast Cancer Treatment Cost in India?

For most international patients, the complete breast cancer treatment package, including surgery, hospital stay, medications, and initial recovery, ranges between USD 3,000 and USD 10,000.

Even with advanced therapies and reconstruction, treatment in India is 60–80% more affordable than in the USA, UK, or UAE without compromising quality or outcomes.

What Is Breast Cancer Treatment?

Breast cancer treatment involves removal or destruction of cancerous cells in the breast and surrounding tissues, while preventing recurrence and preserving quality of life. Treatment is tailored using tumor biology, imaging, biopsy results, and genetic markers.

How the Breast Cancer Treatment Procedure Works

Diagnostic imaging and biopsy
Tumor staging and receptor testing (ER/PR/HER2)
Multidisciplinary tumor board planning
Surgery (if indicated)
Chemotherapy / radiation / targeted therapy
Rehabilitation, surveillance, and long-term follow-up

Who Needs Breast Cancer Treatment in India?

Breast cancer treatment is recommended for patients with:

Early-stage or advanced breast cancer
Hormone-positive, HER2-positive, or triple-negative tumors
Recurrent or metastatic breast cancer
Failure of previous treatments
Patients seeking cost-effective, high-quality care

Eligibility depends on stage, general health, and treatment goals.

Diagnostic Tests Before Breast Cancer Treatment

Diagnostic Test	Approx. Cost (USD)
Blood tests	50 – 80
Mammogram / MRI / CT	100 – 200
Biopsy & Histopathology	150 – 250
Immunohistochemistry (ER/PR/HER2)	100 – 150
PET Scan (if required)	400 – 600
