What is the cost of Meningioma treatment in India?

A meningioma is a tumour that originates from the meninges. Although it is not classified as a brain tumour, it can exert pressure on the adjacent brain, nerves, and blood vessels. Meningioma represents the most prevalent form of tumour development within the head.

The average cost of meningioma surgery in India may range from INR 3,00,000 to INR 5,00,000 for Indian patients, while it may cost USD 6000 to USD 9000 for international patients. This cost includes surgeon fees, anaesthesia charges, OT charges, medical consumables, and hospital stays for a specified number of days.

What is Meningioma?

Meningioma is the most common type of primary brain tumour, accounting for approximately 30% of all brain tumours. It develops in the meninges, which provide cover and protection just beneath the skull.

Symptoms of a meningioma most often begin slowly and may be hard to notice at first. These may include the following:

  • Changes in vision
  • Headaches that are worse in the morning
  • Hearing loss or ringing in the ears
  • Memory loss
  • Loss of smell
  • Seizures
  • Weakness in the arms or legs
  • Trouble speaking

Meningiomas are grouped depending on how quickly they are likely to grow. This is called the grade. They can be low-grade (slow-growing) or high-grade (fast-growing). There are three grades of meningiomas: grade 1, 2, and 3.

The appearance of the cells determines the grade. Typically, lower grades correspond to more normal-looking cells, while higher grades are associated with more abnormal cells. Additionally, the grade is influenced by the genes and proteins found in the tumour cells.

Doctors also split meningiomas into 15 subtypes. Convexity meningioma, skull base meningioma, olfactory groove meningioma are some of the common subtypes.

What are the Different Types of Meningioma Treatment Available?

Meningioma treatment may include the following approaches:

Wait-and-see approach

A small, slow-growing meningioma that is not causing symptoms may not require treatment. You may have brain scans regularly to assess your meningioma and look for signs that it is growing. If your doctor finds that the meningioma is growing and needs to be treated, then you have several treatment choices.

Surgery

If the meningioma causes symptoms or shows signs of growing, the doctor may suggest surgery. If the tumour is irregular or cancerous, you will likely need radiation.

Radiation therapy

If the entire meningioma cannot be removed surgically, the doctor may suggest radiation therapy after or instead of surgery. Radiation therapy types for meningiomas include the following:

  • Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)
  • Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT)
  • Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
  • Proton therapy

Chemotherapy

The use of chemotherapy is rare in the treatment of meningiomas. It may be recommended for people who develop recurrent or progressive meningiomas but do not respond to surgery/radiation therapy.

What are the Factors Affecting the Cost of Meningioma Treatment in India?

The cost of meningioma treatment in India can vary widely based on several factors. Here are the primary factors affecting the cost:

Hospital and Location

Costs may vary significantly between different hospitals and specialty cancer treatment centres. Treatment costs in metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore tend to be higher than in smaller cities and towns.

Diagnostic Tests

Pre-treatment diagnostic tests such as MRI, CT scans, biopsy, and other lab tests contribute to the overall cost.

Type of treatment:

  • Surgery (Craniotomy, Endoscopic Endonasal Surgery, Neuroendoscopic Surgery, Spinal Surgery)
  • Stereotactic Radiosurgery
  • Radiation Therapy 
  • Medication for people who have atypical or malignant tumours that don't o respond well to surgery or radiation therapy

Post-operative Care

The cost of post-operative care (e.g., rehabilitation and follow-up visits) impacts the total cost.

Patient's Overall Health

Additional treatments for underlying conditions or complications can increase the total cost.

Considering these factors, patients should discuss the estimated costs with their healthcare providers and explore financial assistance options if necessary.

What are Pre-surgical and Post-surgical Expenses Involved in Meningioma Treatment?

The pre-surgical and post-surgical expenses involved in meningioma treatment can vary widely based on several factors, including the hospital, the patient's health condition, and the complexity of the surgery. Here is a breakdown of common expenses:

  • Pre-treatment expenses [Consultations, Blood tests, CT, MRI, Digital subtraction angiography (DSA)]: INR 20,000 - INR 35,000 (USD 500 - USD 800)
  • Post-treatment expenses (Follow-up consultations, investigations, and medications): INR 5,000 - INR 10,000 (USD 200 - USD 300)

These expenses can vary significantly based on the specific needs of the patient and the policies of the healthcare facility. It is essential to discuss all potential costs with healthcare providers and the hospital administration to get a detailed estimate and explore available financial assistance options.

What is Involved in the Recovery After Meningioma Treatment?

Recovery after meningioma treatment involves several stages and includes various medical and supportive care to ensure the patient regains health and functionality. Here are the key factors involved in the recovery process:

  • Monitoring any signs of infection, bleeding, or other surgical complications.
  • Manage brain swelling with medications.
  • Gradually increase physical activity as tolerated.
  • Take a balanced diet and nutritional supplements.
  • Continue medications for pain management and other prescribed medications.
  • Receive speech therapy if the tumour has affected areas responsible for speech and language.
  • Regularly visit the neurosurgeon and other specialists to monitor recovery and detect any signs of recurrence.

Recovery from meningioma treatment is a gradual process, and each patient’s journey can be different. Close cooperation with healthcare providers and adherence to the recommended recovery plan is essential for the best possible outcome.

Does Insurance Cover Meningioma Treatment in India?

In India, health insurance policies cover almost all medical treatments. However, the extent of coverage and the specific terms can vary depending on the insurance provider and the policy details. 

It is important to verify the specifics of your policy, as coverage typically includes expenses like hospital stays, surgeon's fees, and anaesthesia fees. Detailed understanding and active communication with your insurance provider can ensure that you receive the maximum possible coverage for these surgeries.

Frequently Asked Questions Related to Meningioma Cost

Meningiomas are typically diagnosed through imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans. A biopsy may be performed to determine the exact nature of the tumour.

Surgery is typically recommended for larger tumours that cause symptoms or are growing. The goal is to remove as much of the tumour as possible while minimising risks to surrounding brain tissue.

Risks include infection, bleeding, blood clots, seizures, stroke, brain swelling, and potential damage to surrounding brain tissue, which can lead to neurological deficits. Each patient's risk profile varies based on individual health factors.

Follow-up treatment depends on the extent of tumour removal and the tumour's pathology. Additional treatments might include radiation therapy to target any remaining tumour cells, especially if the tumour is malignant or partially removed.

Radiation therapy options include conventional external beam radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery (e.g., Gamma Knife or CyberKnife). The choice depends on the tumour's size and location.

Recurrence rates depend on the tumour's grade, completeness of removal, and other factors. Benign meningiomas have lower recurrence rates compared to atypical or malignant ones. Regular follow-up imaging is crucial to monitor for recurrence.
