An important expense when it comes to your Skin Cancer Treatment in India is going to be your oncologist's fees. IndiCure recommends highly experienced, skilled, board-certified surgeons who are capable of delivering successful surgeries. Although the charges may vary depending on the experience of the surgeon, you can be assured that you are in safe and skilled hands when you choose cancer treatment in India with IndiCure.
Many times, the best option might include more than one type of treatment. Surgery, alone or with other treatments, is used to treat most skin cancers. The cost associated with each type of treatment is different. IndiCure recommends you to understand the options by consulting our expert oncologists.
The overall skin cancer treatment cost depends on the number of chemotherapy or radiation therapy cycles that a patient has to undergo. In some patients, the doctors might advise giving more than a couple of cycles of chemotherapy or radiation therapy to kill the cancerous cells.
Having your treatment for Skin cancer in an accredited surgical facility by skilled and qualified medical staff is a critical factor. Moreover, the geographical location of this facility in India also affects the quote. But, IndiCure provides you with a projected estimate that will be all inclusive and affordable.
The pre-surgical/treatment expenses are associated with the stage of the cancer and medical condition of the patient and thus the number and type of investigations and treatment required. Post-treatment expenses may include prescription medications and follow-up consultations.
We at IndiCure, understand that you travel with a budget in mind and do not like to be greeted by surprises after arrival in India. We thus club all these expenses and give you the package cost that is inclusive and affordable at the same time.

Skin cancer - the abnormal growth of skin cells - most often develops on skin exposed to the sun. But this common form of cancer can also occur on areas of your skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight.
There are three major types of skin cancer -
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that concern you. Also make an appointment with your doctor if you have other signs or symptoms that worry you. If you are found to suffer from skin cancer, the treatment should be started immediately.
Your recommended treatment plan will depend on different factors, like the size, location, type, and stage of your skin cancer. After considering these factors, your healthcare team may recommend one or more of the following treatments:
Cryotherapy: The growth is frozen using liquid nitrogen and the tissue is destroyed as it thaws.
Excisional surgery: The growth and some of the healthy skin surrounding it are cut out.
Mohs surgery: The growth is removed layer by layer, and each layer is examined under a microscope until no abnormal cells are visible.
Curettage and Electrodessication: A long spoon-shaped blade is used to scrape away the cancer cells, and the remaining cancer cells are burned using an electric needle.
Chemotherapy: Drugs are taken orally, applied topically, or injected with a needle or IV line to kill the cancer cells.
Photodynamic therapy: A laser light and drugs are used to destroy the cancer cells.
Radiation: High-powered energy beams are used to kill the cancer cells.
Biological therapy: Biological treatments are used to stimulate your immune system to fight the cancer cells.
Immunotherapy: A cream is applied to your skin to stimulate your immune system to kill the cancer cells.
Mohs Surgery:
An anesthetic will be injected into the area where the tumor is located, numbing it completely and making the procedure painless. Your surgeon will use a scalpel to gently remove the tumor, along with one layer of tissue from around it.
The tumor and tissue will be taken to the lab for analysis while you wait. This waiting period may last up to an hour or longer, but you'll be able to use the restroom if you need to. If the tumor is not next to your mouth, you'll also be able to have a light snack or something to drink.
In the lab, the tissue sample will be sectioned and analyzed. If cancer is found, an additional layer of tissue will be removed in the exact area where the malignancy was located. This process continues until no more cancer cells are detected.
After surgery, you may be prescribed antibiotics to help prevent infection.
The surgical site will be covered with a bandage before you leave. You should leave this bandage on for 24 to 48 hours. Your doctor will instruct you on when to remove the bandage and on the type of wound care you should use. Using ice packs is a common recommendation.
Ask your doctor what type of medication you should take if you experience postsurgical discomfort.
Follow the doctor's recommendations to improve your recovery.
The results are gratifying after the surgery and the treatment. Mohs micrographic surgery is a highly effective treatment for the removal of certain types of skin cancer lesions. It is still the most successful and least invasive technique for removing skin cancers.

I recently traveled to Mumbai for a lower body lift and breast lift. As an American nurse living in Saudi Arabia I was apprehensive at first and did months of research. I chose IndiCure because of Dr. Jagannathan. I traveled alone and spent almost 3 weeks there undergoing 2 separate procedures. I was pleasantly surprised. The surgeries both went flawless. All of the hospital staff was amazing. Read Michelle Williams's Review About IndiCure Here
