What Determines the Cost?

🧠 Tumor Size & Location

Deep-seated or eloquent area tumors require longer surgery, advanced neuronavigation, and intraoperative monitoring — increasing operating time and complexity.

🩻 Imaging & Diagnostics

Pre-operative MRI with contrast, MR spectroscopy, functional MRI, and post-operative scans contribute to the overall cost. Intraoperative navigation may be needed.

🏥 ICU Stay & Monitoring

Most brain tumor surgeries require 1–3 days of ICU monitoring. Longer ICU stays for complex cases add to daily charges for nursing, medications, and monitoring.

🔬 Pathology & Follow-Up

Histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular markers (for grading) are essential after tumor removal. These lab investigations are part of the overall cost.
