Breast Cancer: Treatment in Beijing

Key test: Mammography + ultrasound ± breast MRIDiagnosis from $250
Medically reviewed by ChinaMedPass Medical TeamUpdated 1 cited sourceEditorial policy

Short answer

Breast cancer treatment is tailored by subtype (hormone receptors, HER2) and stage — surgery, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, targeted and immune drugs in the right sequence. Beijing Cancer Hospital's breast center offers rapid one-stop workup and a written plan from $400.

Overview

No cancer is more protocol-personalized: ER/PR/HER2 status and stage decide everything from surgical extent (lumpectomy vs mastectomy, with reconstruction options) to which systemic therapies and in what order. Second opinions frequently change plans — most often the systemic-therapy sequence.

In Beijing

Beijing Cancer Hospital's breast center runs high-volume surgery (including oncoplastic and reconstruction), full radiotherapy and every modern drug class, with pathology re-review of outside slides. PUMCH offers elite multidisciplinary review for complex or ambiguous cases.

Typical costs

  • Imaging workup (mammography, ultrasound, MRI): from about $250–500
  • Pathology re-review + written treatment plan: from $400
  • Treatment: individual quote — Chinese-approved HER2 and CDK4/6 agents often far below Western prices

Breast Cancer — frequently asked questions

Is a second opinion worth it before breast cancer surgery?

＋

Frequently yes — reviews commonly refine the systemic-therapy sequence (for example, chemotherapy before surgery in HER2-positive or triple-negative disease) and occasionally the surgery itself. A written plan from Beijing Cancer Hospital's breast team starts from $400 and takes days, not weeks.
