There’s no one number, because the cost for a gastrointestinal stromal tumor sits mostly in the drugs rather than the operating room — the extent of surgery for localized disease, and, usually the dominant factor, the tyrosine kinase inhibitors: imatinib first-line, sometimes for years as adjuvant therapy, with sunitinib or regorafenib later, each priced per month and continued long-term. KIT and PDGFRA mutation testing, which decides your drug, matters too. Istanbul typically runs well below Western-European prices. Every figure here is an illustrative placeholder pending verified partner-hospital quotes, itemized so you can check a written quote line by line — and you pay the hospital directly, not us.
