The Prostate Cancer Treatment Cost in Thailand approximately starts from THB 606050 (USD 17000)
When an uncontrolled growth of cell happens in the prostate gland, it is known as Prostate Cancer. Prostate is a walnut-shaped gland situated in front of the rectum and slightly below the bladder in a male body. The major function of the Prostate gland is to produce and store semen and helps in the regulation of bladder control. Apart from Skin Cancer, Prostate Cancer is one of the most common cancers found in the male population of the United States. More often than not, Prostate Cancer takes place without showing any kind of symptoms in the body.
As per the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that in future, approximately 164,690 men will get diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, around 29, 430 men will die due to the Prostate Cancer and 1 in every 9 men will get diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in the course of their life. The growth of Prostate Cancer is so slow that sometimes people die of some other disease before Prostate Cancer creates any severe physical issue. However, there are exceptions when Prostate Cancer becomes highly-destructive and extend out of the Prostate glands which can turn out to be extremely fatal.
Men who are at higher risk of getting diagnosed with a Prostate Cancer are –
African American men are twice likely to get Prostate Cancer as compared to the white men.
If the father or brother were diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at an early age.
If family history consists of someone getting diagnosed with Ovarian or Breast Cancer.
Obesity or high-fat diet consumption
Regular smoking
Inactive daily life
The cost of Prostate Cancer Treatment in Thailand is highly cost-efficient as compared to the other western world where you need to shed a fortune on the same treatment. Getting treatment for Prostate Cancer in the countries like United States of America, Canada, Australia, and United Kingdom literally costs heavily on people. But, getting treatment from Thailand will help you save a lot of money from getting spent on the treatment.
Therefore, the average cost of Prostate Cancer Treatment in Thailand is $2,900 to $5,300. However, in the USA, Singapore and Turkey, the treatment of Prostate Cancer costs around $11,500 to $55,000, $8,900 to $25,000 and $6,000 to $15,000 simultaneously. However, there are many factors that need to be considered while estimating the total cost of the Prostate Cancer Treatment as these factors highly affect the final cost of the same.
Hence, the most common factors that play a huge role in the final cost of the Prostate Cancer Treatment are –
Type of surgery
The medical condition of the patient
Type of hospital
Location of the hospital
Brand value of the hospital
The expertise of the surgeon
Keeping all the above factors in mind will help you immensely to calculate the estimated cost for the treatment of Prostate Cancer in Thailand.

The prostate is a gland in the male reproductive system, which makes fluid that forms an essential part of the semen. Prostate cancer starts when cells of the prostate glands begin to grow abnormally
Prostate cancer is one of the leading cancers in men above the age of 60. In most of the cases, it is slow growing and may even go undetected and do not cause any problem. However, in some cases, it could be aggressive and cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body (metastatic prostate cancer)
Prostate cancer is a very slow growing disease and starts with tiny alterations in the shape and size of the prostate gland cells. The prostate cancer risk increases with age and it is rarely observed before the age of 40. That is the main reason why many men die of old age, without ever knowing that they had prostate cancer.
There is no direct prostate cancer causes. However, there are some factors that can increase the risk of prostate cancer, including the following:
Usually, prostate cancer means the cancer of prostate gland cells called prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN). Almost all the prostate cancers are adenocarcinomas, but there are some other types of prostate cancer as well, including the following:
Based on how abnormal the patterns of cancer cells look, prostate cancers are classified as:
There are no warning signs of prostate cancer. The symptoms of metastatic prostate cancer usually appear first in the region that the cancer cells have invaded.
After cancer causes the prostate gland to swell, the following signs of prostate cancer may be experienced:
In prostate cancer stages, the following symptoms may also be there:
Treatment for prostate cancer can be divided into early stage and advanced stage. Your doctor will choose the best suitable treatment for you, depending on the stage and classification of prostate cancer, your age, and overall health status. Although, your feelings, expected lifespan, and your opinion will play a major role in choosing the right kind of treatment.
The most common treatment options for prostate cancer include the following:
Watchful waiting or active surveillance
No immediate treatment is carried out, but the patient is followed up at regular intervals to see the progression of the disease. This method is used in elderly patients with short life expectancy and in case of an early disease.
The main type of prostate surgery is called radical prostatectomy. In this, cancerous tissues are removed by a surgical operation. A long cut in the abdomen is needed in this surgery, depending on the extent and stage of cancer.
However, a keyhole surgery for prostate cancer using a laparoscope or robot is also available. These treatments have good success rates but may result in certain long-term side effects such as sexual dysfunction, narrowing of the urethra, and urinary incontinence.
High-intensity beams are used in this treatment to destroy the cancer cells in the prostate. Radiotherapy can be administered via needles implanted into the prostate, under ultrasound guidance or as an external beam. Radiotherapy can be used after surgery if the resection of cancer tissue has not been completed.
There are two types of radiotherapy for prostate cancer:
In this, the radiation beams are shaped so that the region where they overlap is as close to the same shape as the organ that requires treatment. It minimizes healthy tissue exposure to radiation.
In this, the beams with variable intensity are used. It is an advanced form of conformal radiotherapy. It is usually delivered with the help of a computer-controlled linear accelerator.
Hormone therapy involves the use of medications that suppress testosterone levels. They are used as primary treatment and in advanced cases or Stage 4 prostate cancer.
Chemotherapy is a kind of advance drug treatment in which strong medications are used to kill the cancer cells and prevent it from spreading. It is used when the prostate cancer is not controlled by hormonal treatment. Chemotherapy is selected only for treatment of Stage 4 prostate cancer and when the patient can cope with it.
This treatment uses extremely cold temperatures to freeze and destroy cancer tissues in the prostate. Cryotherapy is the best option for treating recurrent prostate cancer, especially if initial radiation therapy did not kill enough cancer cells. The surgeon inserts an ultra-thin metal probe or needle into the prostate gland, from which a freezing liquid, such as liquid nitrogen or more commonly, argon gas, is infused into the prostate gland.
Some treatments such as radiofrequency and high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) are used to treat early prostate cancer or when the patient is not fit for a major surgery.
Ask your healthcare adviser for the best multiple options and choose the one that meets your expectations
Prostate Cancer Treatment cost in Thailand starts from about USD$ 17000. Prostate Cancer Treatment in Thailand is available across many hospitals in different states.
The cost of Prostate Cancer Treatment in Thailand may differ from one medical facility to the other. The cost quoted by some of the best hospitals for Prostate Cancer Treatment in Thailand generally covers the pre-surgery investigations of the patient. The treatment cost usually includes the expenses related to hospitalization, surgery, nursing, medicines, and anesthesia. A prolonged hospital stay due to delayed recovery, new diagnosis and complications after surgery may increase the cost of Prostate Cancer Treatment in Thailand.
There are many hospitals across the country that offer Prostate Cancer Treatment to international patients. Some of the most renowned hospitals for Prostate Cancer Treatment in Thailand include the following:
Upon discharge from the hospital after Prostate Cancer Treatment in Thailand, the patients are advised to stay for about 21 days for recovery. This period is important to conduct all the follow-up tests to ensure that the surgery was successful and the patient can go back to the home country.
Thailand is considered to be one of the best places for Prostate Cancer Treatment in the world. This is because of the availability of some of the best doctors, advanced medical technology and good hospital infrastructure. However, some of the other popular destinations for Prostate Cancer Treatment include the following:
There are certain additional cost that the patient has to pay apart from the Prostate Cancer Treatment cost. These include the cost of accommodation and meals outside hospital. The per day cost in this case may range around USD$ 25.
There are many cities that offer Prostate Cancer Treatment in Thailand, including the following:
The patient is supposed to stay at the hospital for about 4 days after Prostate Cancer Treatment for monitoring and care. The doctors team review the patient's recovery during this time with the help of blood tests and imaging scans. Once they feel that everything is on track, the patient is discharged.
Apart from good services, the hospitals are known to follow all standard and legal guidelines as dictated by the local medical affairs body or organization.
In point of fact, the exact causes of Prostate Cancer are unknown. There are many risk factors which pose a possibility of developing Prostate Cancer, however, which specific risk factor causes a cell present in the Prostate glands to become cancerous is still a mystery.
The genes present in a cell are made up of DNA and the chemicals that form the DNA must get altered to develop cancer. The functionality of the cell is controlled by the genes which also rectify the mistakes that take place in the DNA in order to ensure the cell keeps working in a normal manner. When the genes are affected, the cells either grow in an abnormal manner or die. As the genes are inherited from the parents, if they get altered in any way, it will give rise to cancer. According to a report, around 5% to 10% of Prostate Cancers occur due to the congenital gene change.
However, the other possible risk factor of Prostate Cancer is diet. High intake of fat that is derived from red meat or other animal sources which is cooked at high temperature has the tendency to develop advanced Prostate Cancer. The fundamental factor associating diet with Prostate Cancer is possibly hormonal. As fats fuels the increased production of testosterone and other related hormones, the testosterone eventually accelerates the growth of Prostate Cancer.
In Thailand, the average cost of Prostate Cancer is $2,900 to $5,300 which gets vehemently affected by various factors such as –
Type of treatment
The medical condition of the patient
The expertise of the doctor
Type of hospital
Location of the hospital
Brand value of the hospital
Prostate Cancer can be treated with the help of many kinds of surgeries. However, the most common types of Prostate Cancer Surgery in Thailand are–
Radical Prostatectomy
This kind of surgery involves the removal of the whole prostate along with the seminal vesicles and probably lymph nodes of the pelvic region. However, considering this type of surgery can give rise to sexual impotency.
Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP)
This particular surgery basically takes place to get rid of the symptoms of urinary obstruction. In this surgery, the surgeon inserts a cystoscope into the urethra as well as into the prostate to remove the prostate tissue. TURP does not help in the cure of Prostate Cancer at all.
The recovery process post-treatment in Thailand for Prostate Cancer is as same as the other countries. The approximate time a patient has to spend in the hospital basically depends on the type of treatment and condition of the patient after the same. The catheter will be used to hold the urine of the patient until his urine track becomes absolutely fine.
Painkillers might be prescribed as well to ensure a complete recovery from the treatment.
