Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

The treatment will involve surgery and chemotherapy. In some cases, it may also require radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, and targeted therapy, depending on the ER (estrogen receptor) and PR (progesterone receptor) status, as well as the neu (neuroglioblastoma cell line) report. The cost of treatment varies from hospital to hospital.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
