Patients may require repeated investigation through PET CT and related tests Post-surgery / Chemotherapy / Radiation Therapy
Any additional tests may be required, such as ECG or blood tests
An extended stay at the Hospital (Generally, the stay is around 2-5 days)
Cost of Accommodation during follow-ups, in case the patient is not a local resident [may take longer duration in case of chemotherapy or radiotherapy sessions]
Before Glioma treatment, certain tests are done, including MRI, CT scans, and stereotactic biopsy. Usually, these test costs are covered in the package.
All the medicines are included in the package when the patient is hospitalized. Any medicines bought outside the hospital will not be covered in the package.
A typical hospital stay after the surgery is two to five days. The stay can be longer depending on the condition of the patient.
