Coupled with unpredictable outcome, long periods of treatment is the prohibitive cost of treatment. The cost most of times is so high that a Rs 10 lac insurance seems paltry. Most patients end up selling their assets to cough up money for treatment. The newer medications though effective have a serious cost issue.
It has been estimated over 25 % of patients discontinue cancer treatment due to prohibitive costs.
At Helios we appreciate the anxiety and concern of every patient.
