Answered by Secondmedic Expert

The cost of cancer immunotherapy in India is highly variable, depending on the type of treatment, availability of drugs and personal health insurance coverage. Generally speaking, the costs can range anywhere from Rs 30,000-3 lakhs per cycle. However, if the patient is eligible for government sponsored health insurance schemes such as PMJAY (Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana), they may be able to access cancer immunotherapies at a reduced cost or even free of charge. Additionally, numerous charities have been set up to provide financial help to those undergoing expensive treatments like cancer immunotherapy.

Furthermore, various Indian companies have started providing customised corporate healthcare plans that cover expenses related to cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy along with some forms of immunotherapy options like checkpoint inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies depending on individual policies. Therefore it's always important for one to compare different types of medical insurances available before making any decisions about their medical needs.
