Questions

Frequently asked questions

What types of cancer are treated at Delhi hospitals?
All major types: breast, lung, colon, prostate, cervical, liver, blood cancers (leukaemia, lymphoma), brain tumours, bone cancers, and many rarer types. RGCI and BLK have dedicated bone marrow transplant units.
How many trips to India will I need for chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy usually involves multiple cycles spaced 3–4 weeks apart. Some patients choose to stay in Delhi for the full course; others return for each cycle. We help you plan both approaches based on your situation.
Is my cancer stage too advanced for treatment in India?
Delhi hospitals treat all stages, including advanced cases. The treatment goal may shift from curative to palliative for very advanced cancers, but you will receive the same quality of care. Send us your reports and we will advise.
Can I get a second opinion from an Indian oncologist before committing?
Yes. Many patients send scans and reports for a remote review before travelling. The hospital can provide a written opinion with treatment recommendations, which can help you make an informed decision.
What is the cost of bone marrow transplant in India?
Autologous (using your own cells) transplants cost approximately $15,000–$25,000. Allogeneic (donor) transplants are $25,000–$50,000. This compares to $150,000–$300,000+ for the same procedures in the US.
How does Indian cancer treatment compare to Turkey or Thailand?
India offers equivalent or superior oncology expertise at similar or lower costs. RGCI and BLK are among South Asia’s top cancer centers. Indian oncologists frequently train in the US and UK, bringing international standards to Delhi hospitals.
