Breast Cancer Surgery Cost in Bangalore 2025

Lumpectomy in Bangalore. INR 75,000 to 2,00,000. Mastectomy runs INR 1,00,000 to 3,50,000. Throw in immediate reconstruction and the bill jumps to INR 2,50,000 at minimum, sometimes reaching INR 8,00,000 or beyond depending on which technique is used. None of that includes what comes after. Chemotherapy, radiation and targeted therapy each carry their own cost. Most breast cancer patients in Bangalore end up spending somewhere between INR 5 lakhs and INR 15 lakhs total. The exact number depends on stage, subtype and what the pathology demands from the treatment team.

According to Prof. Dr. Sandeep Nayak, Surgical Oncologist in India,
“Patients deserve a straight answer on cost. Surgery is one piece. What drives the total is the full treatment plan — built from pathology, not from a price list.”

The operative bill shifts based on which procedure is chosen, the hospital and whether reconstruction happens in the same session.

• Lumpectomy: INR 75,000 to 2,00,000 at private specialist centres, with breast cancer treatment at high-volume oncology hospitals sitting toward the upper end because specialist surgical fees, advanced theatre equipment and post-operative pathology infrastructure all push the number up.
• Mastectomy: Simple mastectomy costs INR 1,00,000 to 3,50,000. Modified radical mastectomy with full axillary clearance sits at the higher end variation driven by nodal count, operative time and the length of post-operative monitoring the patient needs before discharge.
• Reconstruction: Implant reconstruction adds INR 1,00,000 to 2,50,000 on top of mastectomy. Flap reconstruction DIEP, TRAM or latissimus dorsi takes the total operative cost well past INR 3,00,000 to 8,00,000 depending on the flap technique the team performs.
• Robotic Surgery: Da Vinci-assisted procedures add INR 50,000 to 1,50,000 above conventional surgery at centres equipped with robotic oncology infrastructure, reflecting platform time and equipment use rather than an increase in surgeon fee.

Surgery is the entry point. What follows it in the treatment plan frequently costs as much again.

Most patients need systemic treatment after surgery. Each modality is a separate cost entirely outside the operative fee.

• Chemotherapy: A full course costs INR 1,00,000 to 4,00,000 for standard regimens. Individual cycles run INR 15,000 to 70,000 each and robotic cancer surgery patients needing neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy should treat this as a completely separate budget line from the surgical figure.
• Radiation: Complete course in Bangalore costs INR 90,000 to 3,50,000. IMRT and stereotactic radiation sit at the higher end compared to standard external beam, which remains available at most major private hospitals across the city at a lower per-session rate.
• Targeted Therapy: HER2 positive patients on trastuzumab face monthly drug costs of INR 50,000 to 1,00,000 for the full adjuvant course in many cases this single drug expense ends up being the largest cost component in the entire treatment bill for that subtype.
• Insurance: Comprehensive health policies and cancer-specific plans cover hospitalisation, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Actual out-of-pocket exposure comes down to sum insured, policy exclusions and whether the treating hospital sits on the insurer’s network list.

Total breast cancer treatment in Bangalore runs INR 3 to 5 lakhs for simple early-stage cases and INR 10 to 15 lakhs for locally advanced disease needing full multimodal treatment, and for more on choosing where to have surgery, our blog on cancer surgery in Bangalore covers this in detail.
