Why consider treatment in India?
Many international patients consider India for leukemia 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 Immunotherapy?
Immunotherapy uses drugs that help the patient's own immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells, and is used across many cancers including breast, lung, colorectal, gastric/esophageal, liver/pancreatic, ovarian/gynaecological, head & neck cancers, leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. It is given as an infusion in cycles, either alone or combined with chemotherapy/targeted therapy, and India offers globally approved immunotherapy drugs and advanced options like CAR-T cell therapy at a fraction of Western costs. Treatment plans are individualized based on tumor type, biomarker status (e.g., PD-L1, MSI), and stage of disease.
Who may be considered?
Immunotherapy 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?
Drugs such as PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors are given as IV infusions every 2-4 weeks to block signals that let cancer cells evade the immune system, often combined with chemotherapy for greater effect.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy
Most CommonDrugs such as PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 inhibitors are given as IV infusions every 2-4 weeks to block signals that let cancer cells evade the immune system, often combined with chemotherapy for greater effect.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $400 - $1,500
CBC, liver and kidney function tests, thyroid function tests, PD-L1/MSI/biomarker testing, contrast CT/PET-CT, ECG, tumor board review
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $1,500 - $3,500 per cycle
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2-3 days
Hospitalisation: ~1 day (day-care per cycle)
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~2-3 days recommended between cycles
Total stay: approx 4-6 cycles over 3-6 months
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Oncologist consultations
- Day-care infusion facility
- Drug administration and monitoring
- Pre-cycle blood work
- Nursing care during infusion
Usually Not Included
- Cost of immunotherapy drug (billed per cycle)
- Interim PET-CT/imaging for response assessment
- Management of immune-related side effects if hospitalization needed
- Genetic/biomarker testing not covered under package
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients tolerate immunotherapy infusions as outpatients and can resume light activity within a day or two, though fatigue, skin rash, or flu-like symptoms are common and are monitored through regular blood tests before each cycle. CAR-T patients require a longer inpatient recovery period with close monitoring for delayed immune reactions.
Risks
Immunotherapy can trigger immune-related side effects affecting the skin, gut, lungs, liver, or endocrine glands, and rarely severe reactions like cytokine release syndrome (especially with CAR-T) that require prompt hospital management. Response to treatment varies by tumor type and biomarker status, and not all patients achieve remission.
Alternatives
Depending on the cancer type and stage, alternatives include conventional chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, surgery, or a combination approach as advised by the tumor board.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- Histopathology and biopsy report confirming cancer type
- Biomarker/genetic testing results (PD-L1, HER2, MSI, EGFR, etc.)
- Recent CT/PET-CT/MRI imaging reports
- Complete blood count and liver/kidney function tests
- Previous chemotherapy/radiotherapy/surgery records
- Bone marrow biopsy report (for blood cancers)
- Cardiac evaluation report (ECG/ECHO)
- Discharge summaries from previous hospitalizations
Patient information needed
- Current age, weight, and general performance status
- Detailed cancer diagnosis with stage and biomarker status
- History of prior treatments and response to them
- Any known drug allergies or autoimmune conditions
- Current medications including steroids or immunosuppressants
- Presence of other chronic conditions (diabetes, heart or lung disease)
- Availability of a caregiver/attendant during treatment
- Preferred treatment start date and travel flexibility
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions
FAQs about Immunotherapy in Delhi NCR, India
What is Leukemia?
Leukemia is a group of blood cancers originating in the bone marrow, where abnormal white blood cells multiply uncontrollably and interfere with the production of normal blood cells. The main types include acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), each requiring a distinct clinical approach.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Leukemia?
Common symptoms include persistent fatigue, unexplained weight loss, recurrent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, bone or joint pain, and an enlarged spleen or liver. Acute leukemias tend to present with symptoms that develop over days to weeks, while chronic forms may cause few or no symptoms early on and are sometimes detected incidentally on routine blood tests. It is important to note that these symptoms overlap with many other conditions, and experiencing them does not establish a leukemia diagnosis—only appropriate medical investigation can do that.
How is Leukemia diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a complete blood count (CBC) showing abnormal white cell levels, followed by a peripheral blood smear to examine cell appearance. A bone marrow biopsy and aspiration are usually required to confirm the diagnosis, determine the specific leukemia subtype, and assess the proportion of blast cells present. Further investigations—including cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), flow cytometry, and molecular testing for mutations such as BCR-ABL, FLT3, or NPM1—are used to classify the disease precisely and guide risk stratification, which directly influences treatment planning.
How is Leukemia treated?
Treatment strategy depends on the leukemia type, subtype, risk classification, a patient's age, overall health, and response to initial therapy. Acute leukemias generally require prompt intervention—commonly chemotherapy delivered in structured induction and consolidation phases—while some chronic leukemias may be managed initially with targeted oral therapies or careful monitoring without immediate systemic treatment. For eligible patients, particularly those with high-risk or relapsed disease, a stem cell transplant may be recommended to achieve longer-term disease control; immunotherapy approaches such as CAR-T cell therapy are also available for select cases. All treatment decisions should be individualized through discussion with a qualified oncology team.
Can Leukemia be treated without a procedure?
The majority of leukemia treatment is non-surgical by nature. Chemotherapy, targeted therapy (such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors for CML or APL differentiation therapy), and immunotherapy are the primary systemic treatments. For certain chronic leukemias with a low disease burden and no symptoms—particularly CLL in early stages—an approach of active surveillance, sometimes called 'watch and wait,' may be appropriate under close specialist monitoring before initiating drug therapy.
When is Immunotherapy considered for Leukemia?
Immunotherapy 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 Leukemia?
Leukemia is primarily evaluated and managed by a medical oncologist specializing in hematologic malignancies, often referred to as a hematologist-oncologist or clinical hematologist. Complex cases, particularly those involving stem cell transplantation, are co-managed by a transplant hematologist and a multidisciplinary team that may include infectious disease specialists, transfusion medicine physicians, and specialist nurses.
How do I choose a doctor for Leukemia?
When comparing providers for leukemia care, look for a medical oncologist or hematologist-oncologist with documented experience in your specific leukemia type, access to advanced molecular diagnostics and a full range of treatment options including targeted therapy and stem cell transplant capability, and a center that offers structured multidisciplinary tumor board review and long-term follow-up protocols.
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.
