There’s no single figure, because the cost follows how the disease is treated — whether surgery is a pleurectomy and decortication or, for peritoneal disease, cytoreduction with HIPEC; the number of pemetrexed-and-platinum chemotherapy cycles; whether radiation is added; and — often the biggest driver — whether nivolumab-plus-ipilimumab immunotherapy is given, since checkpoint-inhibitor drugs are priced per cycle and can dominate the total. Istanbul typically runs well below Western-European prices for the same protocol. Every figure we publish today 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, never us.
