A chemotherapy cycle at an Istanbul hospital runs roughly $1,200–2,800 as an illustrative placeholder range pending Q3 2026 verified partner-hospital quotes, covering the day-clinic chair, administration, premedication, monitoring labs, and oncologist review — compared with a typical German figure of around $6,500 per cycle, a saving of about 69%. The drugs themselves are not included in that range: they're itemized separately per protocol, with biosimilars offered where approved, because drug cost varies so much by regimen. These figures are placeholders pending Q3 2026 real partner-hospital quotes, refreshed quarterly. See the full itemized breakdown on the price index.
