    "content": "The cost of cancer treatment in Kenya, according to a research paper published in 2018 assessing the direct medical cost of cancer care, established that the cost of cancer therapy varied with the type of cancer. Patients on chemotherapy alone require Ksh140,000 while those on treatment for surgery require Ksh130,000. Those on radiotherapy require Ksh120,000. However, radiotherapy takes up to ten sessions and chemotherapy up to 15 sessions. Some patients who take a combination of the three treatments require well above Ksh500,000. Another study in 2018 showed that the cost of treating stage three breast cancer and cervical cancer depended on the treatment followed, whether it was curative or operative approach. The cost of cancer generally increased by stage."
