Breast Cancer Treatment in India

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women globally, and India has emerged as a leading destination for its advanced and affordable treatment. Breast cancer develops when cells in the breast grow uncontrollably, often forming a lump or mass that can spread to nearby tissues or distant organs if untreated.

With top oncologists, internationally accredited hospitals, cutting-edge medical infrastructure, and significantly lower costs compared to countries like the US, UK, and UAE, India offers a complete range of breast cancer care from early detection to complex surgeries and personalized therapies. Hospisity ensures international patients receive seamless care coordination, expert consultations, and trusted support throughout their treatment journey in India.

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.

Cost 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
