Affordable Immunotherapy in India

[asen2709]

My Mother in law is suffering from fourth stage triple neg IVC breast cancer, which is not responding to chemo. Where can I get affordable immunotherapy for breast cancer in India and how much will it cost (ballpark) to get one session done?

Immunotherapy is not a standard treatment and hence I do not know where is it available and costs as such. Maybe you will have to google it out.

AntiPD1 immunotherapy is probably under phase 3 trial with good degree of success.Look for trials at Dana Faber hospital there

You can check clinical trials by going to clinicaltrials.gov

There are several ways to refine the search including whether the study is recruiting, location, specific drug or diagnosis, etc. I don't see any in India for AntiPD1 immunotherapy. If you look at a phase three study I would make sure that you are comfortable with all of the possible treatments and ask if there is a cross over if one treatment proves to be significantly better than the other. the advantage to clinical trials is that you usually have no costs while participating, but be sure to read the paperwork carefully and ask a lot of questions. Some trials do not pay for regular follow up care like CT scans.
