Understanding Your Financial Options

We believe in complete transparency when it comes to cancer treatment costs. Before you travel, you'll receive a detailed MDT cost estimate covering your entire treatment plan — specialist consultations, imaging, lab work, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, hospital stays, medications, and follow-up care. No surprise charges, no hidden fees.

Cancer treatment at Arion typically costs 40-70% less than comparable oncology care in the United States, United Kingdom, or Western Europe — while maintaining international quality standards through our UPMC partnership. These savings often more than cover travel and accommodation expenses for you and a companion.
