Factors Influencing Costs

Several factors affect treatment costs, including the type of procedure, hospital choice, length of stay, and required diagnostics. Your personalized plan will determine the final amount.

 

Treatment Type

The cost varies by approach — surgeries like cystectomy tend to be more expensive, while treatments like immunotherapy or TURBT may be less, depending on your case.

Facility

Premium hospitals with advanced equipment and top specialists may have higher fees, but they also offer enhanced care and comfort.

Hospital Stay

Longer inpatient stays, especially after major surgery, increase overall costs due to room charges, nursing care, and support services.

Diagnostics

Initial tests such as MRIs, CT scans, cystoscopy, and biopsies are essential for diagnosis and treatment planning, and can add to total expenses.

Recovery and Results

Recovery time depends on the type of treatment. Most patients resume normal activities within 2 months, especially with early intervention and good post-operative care.

 

Recovery Timeline
Day 0 – Treatment

Undergo TURBT or cystectomy at a certified medical facility.

Days 1–6 – Hospital Stay (Cystectomy only)

Typical hospital stay lasts 5–6 days for cystectomy. TURBT patients are usually discharged the same or next day.

Week 1–2 – Initial Home Recovery

TURBT patients rest and avoid strenuous activity. Cystectomy patients continue home recovery with mobility support.

Week 3–4 – Light Activities Resume

Most TURBT patients can return to light work or routine tasks. Cystectomy patients may start light walking and basic daily activities.

Week 6–8 – Return to Normal Life

Cystectomy patients often resume most activities. Final check-ups and follow-up evaluations are completed.

2 Months+ – Long-Term Outcomes

With proper follow-up, many patients enjoy strong recovery, reduced recurrence, and improved quality of life.
