A single 'all-inclusive package' price is convenient, but it hides exactly the information you need to judge whether a quote is fair. Cancer treatment is not a fixed procedure — the drugs, the number of chemotherapy or radiotherapy cycles, and whether complications need ICU time are only known as your pathology comes back, so a flat package either pads in a large safety margin or quietly excludes the expensive parts, such as adjuvant therapy, complication coverage, or extra inpatient days. OncologyIstanbul deliberately publishes itemized ranges instead of packages, so you can see each line — anesthesia, pathology, imaging, follow-up — and check what is and isn't covered. If you are offered a package, ask for the same itemized breakdown and confirm what happens, and who pays, if your treatment plan changes after you arrive. This is general cost information, not a quote.
