What Is the Cost of Immunotherapy in India?
The cost of Immunotherapy in India typically ranges from $500 to $6,000 USD, depending on the hospital, city, and type of procedure.
Immunotherapy helps the immune system fight cancer. Checkpoint inhibitors are the most common type. The cost depends on:
- Drug: for example pembrolizumab or nivolumab.
- Dose and body weight
- Number of cycles: treatment may continue for up to two years.
- Tests: such as PD-L1 testing.
Immunotherapy is usually priced per cycle, and a full course may cost much more than this range.
Immunotherapy: How It Works
Cancer Research UK explains that checkpoint inhibitors block proteins that switch off T cells. This lets T cells find and attack cancer cells again. They are used for melanoma, lung, kidney, bladder, head and neck and other cancers.

CRUK says suitability depends on the cancer type, stage and previous treatments. Some drugs need a test on the cancer sample, such as PD-L1.
Immunotherapy: Side Effects
Because immunotherapy activates the immune system, it can cause inflammation in the skin, gut, lungs, liver, kidneys or hormone glands. CRUK notes these can occur months after treatment, so report new symptoms promptly. Regular blood tests are needed.
