There's no one figure, because head and neck cancer cost turns on the tumor's site and stage, the extent of surgery — which can include reconstruction to preserve speech and swallowing — the number of radiation sessions and chemotherapy cycles when chemoradiation is used, and whether targeted therapy (cetuximab) or immunotherapy is added, both priced per cycle. Istanbul generally prices the same treatment plan well below Western Europe. Any figure we currently publish is an illustrative placeholder, pending verified partner-hospital quotes and itemized so you can check a written quote line by line — and you pay the hospital directly, never us.
