wiesia Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Does any of you know how much a treatment by cyberknife could cost ? A ballpark estimate would suffice. It would be for a tumor in the lung. Thanks, w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe B Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I know they have started to do some limited cyberknife procedures on lung tumors. I do not know the out of pocket cost, but I think there is a limit in terms of "size" that they can treat . jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donnalee Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 My husband had cyberknife on his lung tumor and the bill to his insurance company was over $40,000. And that didn't include the fiducial placement and other associated doctor visits. It's quite expensive, but so far his lung tumor seems to be controlled.
