Why consider treatment in India?
Many international patients consider India for breast cancer treatment for several reasons, including:
More affordable estimates
Competitive indicative costs compared with many other countries, for similar clinical standards.
Internationally accredited hospitals
Hospitals experienced in treating international patients.
Experienced specialists
Doctors who regularly manage similar cases.
Care coordination support
A team to help with planning, medical translation and follow-up.
About the Procedure
What is Hormone Therapy?
Hormone therapy uses medications or surgery to block or lower the effect of hormones that fuel certain cancers, most commonly hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and prostate cancer. It is used as a primary treatment, alongside surgery/radiation, or to reduce recurrence risk, and can be delivered as daily oral tablets, periodic injections, or surgical hormone ablation. GAF Healthcare connects patients with leading Indian oncologists offering evidence-based hormone therapy protocols with close monitoring and significant cost savings compared to Western countries.
Who may be considered?
Hormone Therapy may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Daily oral medication that blocks estrogen receptors or lowers estrogen production, used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, typically for 5-10 years with periodic monitoring.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Oral Hormone Therapy (Tamoxifen / Aromatase Inhibitors) – Breast Cancer
Most CommonDaily oral medication that blocks estrogen receptors or lowers estrogen production, used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, typically for 5-10 years with periodic monitoring.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $300 - $800
Hormone receptor (ER/PR/HER2) testing, CBC, liver function tests (LFT), bone density scan (DEXA), pelvic ultrasound, mammogram
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $600 - $1,800
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1-2 days
Hospitalisation: ~0-1 day (outpatient)
Recovery period (outside hospital): Ongoing, reviewed every 3-6 months
Total stay: approx 2-3 days for initial visit
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Oncologist consultation
- Baseline lab and imaging review
- Medication prescription and initiation
- Treatment plan documentation
- Care coordinator support
Usually Not Included
- Ongoing medication supply after leaving India
- Long-term DEXA/imaging follow-up abroad
- Airfare and accommodation
- Management of unrelated pre-existing conditions
Recovery and follow-up
Oral and injectable hormone therapies are typically continued for months to years with follow-up every 3-6 months to monitor hormone levels, bone density, and side effects, while surgical hormone ablation requires about 1-2 weeks of physical recovery before resuming normal activities.
Risks
Common risks include hot flashes, fatigue, mood changes, reduced bone density, and increased cardiovascular or blood clot risk with long-term hormone therapy; surgical ablation carries standard surgical risks such as bleeding or infection and is irreversible.
Alternatives
Alternatives include chemotherapy, targeted therapy (e.g., HER2-directed agents), radiation therapy, definitive surgery (mastectomy or radical prostatectomy), or active surveillance for select low-risk cases.

- Recent CBC and liver function tests (LFT)
- Bone density (DEXA) scan report, if available
- Details of prior treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation)
- Latest oncologist consultation notes and treatment plan
- List of current medications and allergies
Patient information needed
- Patient age, gender, and menopausal status (for breast cancer)
- Type and stage of cancer
- Current and past hormone-related or cancer medications
- Comorbidities such as diabetes, heart disease, or osteoporosis
- History of blood clots or cardiovascular disease

Common questions
FAQs about Hormone Therapy in Delhi NCR, India
What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is a malignant tumour originating in the cells of the breast, most commonly in the milk ducts (ductal carcinoma) or lobules (lobular carcinoma), which has the potential to invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. It is classified by its molecular subtype, grade, and stage, all of which inform the most appropriate course of management.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Breast Cancer?
Common signs include a new lump or thickening in the breast or armpit, changes in breast size or shape, skin dimpling or puckering, nipple discharge (particularly if bloodstained), nipple inversion, or persistent pain in one area of the breast. In more advanced cases, swelling of the arm, bone pain, or unexplained weight loss may occur. These symptoms can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions, so their presence alone does not confirm a diagnosis of breast cancer.
How is Breast Cancer diagnosed?
Diagnosis is typically established through a combination of imaging — most commonly mammography and ultrasound, with MRI used in selected cases — and a tissue biopsy, which allows pathologists to confirm malignancy and determine the tumour's grade and receptor status (oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and HER2). Staging, from Stage I through Stage IV, is then assessed using clinical examination, pathology results, and where indicated, further imaging such as CT or bone scans to evaluate whether the cancer has spread beyond the breast. All of these findings are reviewed together by a qualified clinician to determine the most appropriate individual management plan.
How is Breast Cancer treated?
Treatment for breast cancer is highly individualised and depends on the tumour's stage, grade, molecular subtype, the patient's overall health, and personal preferences. Surgical options available through our directory include lumpectomy, mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, oncoplastic breast surgery, and breast reconstruction, each suited to different clinical scenarios. These procedures are commonly combined with systemic treatments such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, or immunotherapy, and with radiotherapy, to reduce the risk of recurrence — the precise combination being determined by a multidisciplinary team following full assessment.
Can Breast Cancer be treated without a procedure?
Non-surgical treatments play a central role in breast cancer management and are used either alongside surgery or, in some cases, as the primary approach — for example, hormone therapy alone in frail or elderly patients with hormone-receptor-positive disease who are not surgical candidates. Systemic options include chemotherapy, hormone (endocrine) therapy, HER2-targeted therapy, and immunotherapy; some patients also receive neoadjuvant (pre-operative) systemic therapy to reduce tumour size before surgery. Radiotherapy is frequently recommended after breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy to reduce the risk of local recurrence. The role and sequence of each non-surgical treatment is determined on an individual basis by the treating oncology team.
When is Hormone Therapy considered for Breast Cancer?
Hormone Therapy may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is typically managed by a multidisciplinary team led by a surgical oncologist and a medical oncologist, working alongside a radiation oncologist, breast radiologist, and pathologist. Plastic and reconstructive surgeons may also be involved when breast reconstruction is planned.
How do I choose a doctor for Breast Cancer?
When selecting a provider, look for a surgical or medical oncologist with documented experience in breast cancer specifically, working within a hospital that offers a formal multidisciplinary tumour board, access to the full range of systemic therapies, and clear pathways for follow-up care and survivorship support.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
