Breast cancer in China
乳腺癌
The most common cancer in women worldwide — and one where China's flagship breast centers combine very high surgical volume with strikingly low listed fees. Reconstruction can be done in the same operation or staged later.

The surgical hospitalization itself. A typical six-cycle chemotherapy regimen adds roughly ¥40,000–80,000, and targeted therapy is priced by drug — both separate, by treatment plan.
