Understanding Paediatric Cancer Cost
What shapes the child cancer treatment cost in Hyderabad?
No two children have exactly the same treatment plan. The table below explains the main factors that influence total cost — so you can ask your oncologist the right questions from day one.
| Cost Factor | Why It Matters | CION Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Cancer type & risk group | Leukaemia treatment runs for two to three years; a resectable kidney tumour (Wilms tumour) may primarily need surgery plus a shorter course of chemotherapy. Risk classification determines which protocol is followed and for how long. | Every child is reviewed by our tumour board before the plan is finalised — we do not apply a one-size-fits-all protocol. |
| Treatment modality | Chemotherapy alone, surgery alone, radiation alone, or combinations of all three — each carries a different cost profile. Modalities are chosen on medical grounds only, not financial ones. | Decisions for healing, not billing. No treatment is added unless it is recommended by the tumour board. |
| Diagnostic imaging & tests | MRI, CT, PET-CT, bone marrow biopsy, lumbar puncture, and blood tests are needed to stage the disease and monitor response. Each adds to the upfront cost but prevents under- or over-treatment later. | We offer whole-body PET-CT at ₹9,999 (analogue) and ₹14,950 (digital). Up to 50% discounts on diagnostics for eligible patients. |
| Hospitalisation duration | Some chemotherapy cycles require day-care admissions; major surgery or high-dose chemotherapy may require multi-day inpatient stays. Longer or more frequent admissions increase the total cost. | We plan admissions to minimise unnecessary overnight stays and make day-care delivery the default wherever the protocol allows. |
| Duration of treatment | A short surgical procedure is a one-time cost. A maintenance chemotherapy phase that runs for 18–24 months involves regular clinic visits and medicine costs spread over time — which can be easier to manage than a single large bill. | We provide a written estimate for each phase at the start of that phase so families can plan ahead without surprises. |
| Insurance & government coverage | Most health insurance policies cover hospitalisation and chemotherapy. Government schemes such as Aarogyasri, CGHS, ECHS, and ESI may cover the entire cost for eligible families, reducing out-of-pocket spending to near zero. | Our admissions team checks your eligibility and handles pre-authorisation on the day of your first visit. |
| Supportive care | Anti-nausea medicines, infection prevention, blood product support, nutritional counselling, and psychological support for the child and family all contribute to the total cost — but they also determine how well a child tolerates treatment. | Allied care — nutrition, psycho-oncology — is part of every treatment plan. We are transparent about these costs upfront. |

Transparent Care
What is included in your child’s treatment plan at CION
A cost estimate means nothing unless you know what it covers. Here is what every child treated at CION receives — regardless of the cancer type.
Tumour Board Review
Every child’s case is reviewed by a multi-disciplinary tumour board — medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists together. You never pay for a single doctor’s opinion when team review is the standard.
45-Minute Consultations
Every consultation is 45 minutes — not rushed, not split between other patients. Parents leave each visit with clear answers, not more questions. This is the standard at every CION centre.
Response Monitoring at Every Stage
Treatment is monitored at defined intervals so the plan can be adjusted if the response is better or slower than expected. This prevents unnecessary additional cycles and keeps total cost in line with the original estimate.
Nutritional & Psychological Support
Nutrition counselling and psycho-oncology support for both the child and the family are part of the standard plan at CION — not add-ons billed separately. Allied care reduces complications and shortens recovery time.
Financial Counselling
A dedicated financial counsellor sits with the family at the start of treatment, identifies every applicable government scheme, insurance benefit, and support pathway, and prepares all paperwork. There is no separate fee for this service.
Written Phase-wise Cost Estimate
Before each new phase of treatment begins, you receive a written breakdown of what the next phase will cost. No surprises. No bills that appear without explanation. Decisions for healing, not billing.
CION’s Cost Promise
Transparent costs — what every family at CION can expect
When you come to us worried about your child, the last thing you should face is an unclear or unexpectedly large bill. Our commitment is simple: no treatment begins without a written cost estimate, and no cost changes without a conversation first. We believe this should be the standard for every family, not a privilege.
The total cost of childhood cancer treatment depends on factors that we cannot always predict at the very start — how a child responds to the first phase of treatment, whether the plan needs to be adjusted, and whether there are complications along the way. What we can promise is that we will share what we know, when we know it, and that we will never recommend a test or a treatment unless it is medically necessary.
Families who are concerned about leukemia treatment cost for a child, or the cost of paediatric cancer treatment more broadly, are encouraged to speak with us before making any decisions. Understanding your options — insurance, Aarogyasri, EMI, or charitable support — is the first step. You do not have to figure this out alone.
