CION Ameerpet
There is no single price for radiosurgery — cost depends on the platform, the number of lesions and how many sessions you need. We give you a clear, written estimate after a free consultation, so you can plan with confidence.
If you have been told you or a loved one may need Gamma Knife, CyberKnife or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), "how much will it cost?" is one of the first practical questions — and you deserve an honest answer. The honest answer is that there is no single fixed price. A single small brain metastasis treated in one session sits at the lower end. Several lesions, or a fractionated 3–5 session course, sit higher. The cost follows the plan your lesion needs, not a fixed rate card.
As a broad guide, radiosurgery in Hyderabad is generally around ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,50,000 per course, with most patients needing 1 to 5 sessions. This page gives you realistic, itemised price ranges, explains what makes one patient's SRS bill different from another's, and shows how CION's brain tumour treatment programme uses EMI and insurance support to make care affordable. For the wider picture, see our brain tumour treatment cost in Hyderabad guide.
Despite the word "surgery", stereotactic radiosurgery involves no incision at all — focused radiation beams converge on the target from many angles. NCCN and EANO guidelines support SRS as a primary option for limited brain metastases because it spares healthy brain and cognition better than whole-brain radiation. Because there is usually no open surgery, ICU or admission, the cost profile is very different from open brain surgery.
These are typical ranges for radiosurgery in Hyderabad. Your actual cost depends on the platform, the number of lesions and sessions, and the planning imaging — confirmed in a written estimate after your consultation.
| Radiosurgery component | Approx. cost (INR) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Planning MRI brain with contrast + planning CT | ₹6,000 – ₹20,000 | High-resolution imaging to target precisely |
| Single-session SRS — one small lesion | ₹1,20,000 – ₹1,80,000 | e.g. a single brain metastasis or small meningioma |
| Stereotactic radiosurgery — full course | ₹1,20,000 – ₹2,50,000 | Typically 1–5 sessions; no incision, no admission |
| Fractionated SRS / SRT (3–5 sessions) | ₹1,80,000 – ₹2,50,000+ | For larger or awkwardly placed lesions |
| Multiple brain metastases (per plan) | Priced by lesion count | SRS can treat several lesions; cost rises with number |
| Frame / mask immobilisation | Included in course | Keeps the head perfectly still during treatment |
| Stereotactic needle biopsy (if tissue needed first) | ₹1,00,000 – ₹2,00,000 | Only when the diagnosis needs confirming |
| Follow-up MRI to check response | ₹6,000 – ₹15,000 | Repeated periodically after treatment |
Radiosurgery at CION is delivered as part of coordinated specialist radiosurgery care — CION provides your radiation-oncology planning, imaging, molecular testing and supportive care directly. Figures are indicative; a personalised written estimate follows your consultation. Learn how the treatment works on our stereotactic radiosurgery (Gamma Knife / CyberKnife) guide.
Two patients both told they need "radiosurgery" can receive very different bills. These are the factors that move the number up or down — and why an individual written estimate matters.
The biggest driver. A single small metastasis costs less than a plan treating several lesions in one sitting. SRS can treat multiple brain metastases, but each added target adds planning and delivery cost.
Single-session radiosurgery is generally less than a fractionated 3–5 session course (sometimes called SRT), which is used for larger or awkwardly placed lesions near critical structures.
Gamma Knife, CyberKnife and linac-based SRS overlap heavily in price. The right platform depends on the lesion — not the price tag. See our radiosurgery explainer for how they differ.
A dedicated high-resolution MRI and planning CT are essential to target precisely. These are part of the up-front cost but they are what make radiosurgery accurate and safe.
If the diagnosis needs confirming first, a stereotactic biopsy and any molecular tests (IDH, MGMT for gliomas) add to the early cost — but they prevent spending on the wrong treatment.
Steroids for brain swelling, anti-seizure medicines and follow-up scans to confirm the tumour is responding are part of good care and form part of the overall plan and cost.

Our team reviews your MRI and reports, gives you a clear written SRS estimate, and explains every EMI and insurance option — decisions for healing, not billing.
Radiosurgery and open surgery are not simply cheaper or dearer versions of each other — they treat different situations. But the cost profile is genuinely different, and it helps to understand why.
No incision, no general anaesthesia and usually no hospital admission, so it avoids the ICU and ward charges that dominate a surgical bill. Typically ₹1,20,000 – ₹2,50,000 for a course of 1–5 outpatient sessions. Best for small, well-defined targets — a single brain metastasis, a small meningioma, or an acoustic neuroma.
Involves an incision, general anaesthesia, and an ICU and ward stay — usually the single largest line item in a brain tumour plan, at roughly ₹2,80,000 – ₹4,50,000 (surgery is coordinated with our accredited neurosurgical partners). Necessary when a tumour is large, causing pressure, or when tissue must be removed. See the full brain tumour treatment cost breakdown.
For a small, appropriate target, radiosurgery can be both clinically preferable and less expensive overall. But choosing SRS purely to save money — when surgery is the correct first step — is not in your interest. Which treatment is right depends on the lesion, not the budget. That decision is made by CION's tumour board, then costed line by line.
Because the plan follows the diagnosis, the easiest way to understand SRS cost is by the clinical situation. Here is a realistic picture for the most common cases we see in Hyderabad.
When cancer spreads to the brain from elsewhere — most often lung, breast, kidney or melanoma — a single small lesion is often treated in one SRS session, usually at the lower end of the range. Systemic therapy for the primary cancer continues alongside, but the brain-directed cost is mainly that one radiosurgery course.
Modern guidelines support SRS for several metastases at once, preserving cognition better than whole-brain radiation. Cost rises with the number of lesions because each target needs planning and delivery, but avoiding whole-brain radiation often means fewer long-term side effects.
Many small, slow-growing benign tumours are simply monitored on yearly MRI — so the cost is just the scan and consultation. When treatment is needed, a short SRS course is common and generally less than the full pathway for a malignant tumour.
Lesions that are bigger or sit near critical structures may be treated with fractionated SRS (SRT) over 3–5 sessions rather than a single large dose. This spreads the radiation to protect nearby brain and sits at the higher end of the cost range.
For limited brain metastases, NCCN and EANO guidelines increasingly favour stereotactic radiosurgery over whole-brain radiation — because focused treatment spares healthy brain and better protects memory and thinking. The cheapest plan is rarely the goal; the right plan for your lesion is. A free second opinion helps confirm you have been offered the most appropriate option.
When you book a free consultation at CION, the estimate you receive is not a single guess. We review your scans and reports, and our tumour board agrees a plan first — then we cost it, line by line.

A brain tumour diagnosis is frightening enough without a financial shock. CION is built on the belief that care decisions should be made for healing, not billing — so we make the cost manageable in practical ways.
Radiosurgery cost can be spread across flexible monthly instalments rather than paid as one large amount, so you can start the right treatment without delay.
CION works with all major TPAs for cashless hospitalisation under most private and corporate health policies. Our billing team prepares the pre-authorisation paperwork for you.
You see your itemised estimate up front and are told about any changes before they happen — no surprise additions at discharge.
A cost estimate is only as good as the treatment plan behind it. A free second opinion is especially worthwhile when:

Start Your Story. Book Free Consultation.There is no single fixed price — stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in Hyderabad is generally around ₹1,20,000 to ₹2,50,000 per treatment course, and most patients need just 1 to 5 sessions. The cost varies with the platform used (Gamma Knife, CyberKnife or a linac-based SRS system), the number of lesions treated, how many sessions your plan needs, and the planning MRI and imaging involved. A single small lesion treated in one session sits at the lower end; multiple brain metastases or a fractionated course sits higher. At CION you receive a written, itemised estimate after your free consultation — never one vague number.
Gamma Knife and CyberKnife are both stereotactic radiosurgery platforms — they deliver highly focused radiation to a brain target without any incision. Their prices in Hyderabad overlap heavily and both fall broadly within the ₹1,20,000 – ₹2,50,000 range for a typical course. CyberKnife can treat some larger or awkwardly placed lesions across a few fractions, while Gamma Knife is often used for small, well-defined targets in a single session. The right platform depends on the lesion — not the price tag. CION coordinates radiosurgery on the most appropriate platform through specialist radiosurgery partners and delivers your radiation-oncology planning, follow-up and supportive care directly.
Because no two radiosurgery plans are the same. The biggest cost drivers are: the number of lesions (one small metastasis costs less than several); the number of sessions (single-session radiosurgery vs a 3–5 fraction course); the platform (Gamma Knife, CyberKnife or linac-based SRS); the planning imaging (a dedicated high-resolution MRI and CT are needed to target precisely); and any frame or mask immobilisation used. Two patients told they need "radiosurgery" can therefore receive very different bills. That is why CION prices each plan individually after reviewing your MRI and reports.
Often, yes — but they are not interchangeable. SRS involves no incision, no general anaesthesia and usually no hospital admission, so it avoids ICU and ward charges that make open brain tumour surgery the single largest line item in many plans. For a small, well-defined target — such as a single brain metastasis, a small meningioma or an acoustic neuroma — radiosurgery can be both clinically appropriate and less expensive overall. But for a large tumour causing pressure, surgery may be the correct first step regardless of cost. Which treatment is right depends on the lesion, not the budget.
Yes. CION offers an EMI facility so radiosurgery cost can be spread over manageable monthly instalments rather than paid in one lump sum. We also work with all major TPAs (third-party administrators) for cashless hospitalisation under most private and corporate health-insurance policies — though outpatient day-care radiosurgery may have different coverage rules from an inpatient procedure. Bring your policy document to your free consultation and our billing team will explain, in plain language, what is likely to be covered and what your out-of-pocket amount could be before you commit. Our promise is simple: decisions for healing, not billing.
The headline per-course figure usually covers the radiosurgery delivery and the associated planning, but some items are billed separately. A dedicated high-resolution planning MRI and CT are essential for precise targeting. If tissue confirmation is needed first, a biopsy and any molecular tests (IDH, MGMT for gliomas) add to the up-front cost. Steroid and anti-seizure medicines and follow-up scans to check the tumour is responding are part of good care and form part of the overall plan. CION lists each of these clearly in your written estimate so you know exactly what is — and is not — included before treatment starts.
Yes. After your free 45-minute consultation and a review of your MRI and reports, CION provides a written, itemised cost estimate covering the planning imaging, the radiosurgery course, immobilisation, and follow-up for your specific case. You will see each component clearly — not a single vague figure — so you can plan, check your insurance and ask questions before deciding. We believe transparent costs are part of good care.
