Why consider treatment in India?
Many international patients consider India for lymphoma 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 Total Body Irradiation (TBI)?
Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is a specialized radiation therapy technique that delivers a precisely calculated dose of radiation to the entire body, most commonly used as part of the conditioning regimen before a bone marrow or stem cell transplant in patients with leukemia, lymphoma, or other blood disorders. It works by destroying residual cancer cells and suppressing the immune system so that donor stem cells can engraft successfully. TBI is typically planned and delivered by a specialized radiation oncology team in close coordination with the transplant hematology team.
Who may be considered?
Total Body Irradiation (TBI) 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?
Radiation is delivered in multiple small fractions over 3-4 days using a standard linear accelerator with the patient positioned at extended distance to cover the whole body, minimizing toxicity to organs like lungs.
2 approaches available for this procedure:
Conventional Fractionated TBI (Linear Accelerator)
Most CommonRadiation is delivered in multiple small fractions over 3-4 days using a standard linear accelerator with the patient positioned at extended distance to cover the whole body, minimizing toxicity to organs like lungs.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $300 - $700
CBC, kidney and liver function tests, pulmonary function test (PFT), echocardiogram/ECG, CT simulation scan, in-vivo dosimetry check, chest X-ray
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $3,000 - $6,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2-3 days
Hospitalisation: ~4-5 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~2-3 weeks recommended (transitions into transplant recovery)
Total stay: approx 7-10 days for TBI course
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- CT-based treatment planning and simulation
- Daily radiation delivery sessions with dosimetry verification
- Radiation oncologist and medical physicist consultations
- Supportive medications for nausea/side effects
- Coordination with transplant team
Usually Not Included
- Stem cell/bone marrow transplant procedure itself
- Donor search and harvesting costs
- Long-term post-transplant medications
- Management of severe complications (e.g., ICU care)
- International travel and accommodation
Recovery and follow-up
Following TBI, patients typically proceed directly to stem cell infusion within 1-2 days, then require close monitoring in an isolated unit for several weeks to manage immune suppression and monitor engraftment; regular blood counts and follow-up visits continue for months after discharge.
Risks
TBI can cause short-term side effects such as nausea, fatigue, mucositis, and temporary organ toxicity (especially to lungs and kidneys), along with a small long-term risk of secondary cancers, infertility, and cataracts.
Alternatives
Depending on the disease and patient fitness, chemotherapy-only conditioning regimens (without radiation) may be considered as an alternative to TBI before stem cell transplantation, though TBI is often preferred for certain leukemias due to its ability to reach sanctuary sites inaccessible to chemotherapy.
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
- Complete blood count (CBC) and metabolic panel
- Bone marrow biopsy/aspiration report
- Pulmonary function test (PFT) results
- Cardiac evaluation (ECG/echocardiogram)
- Recent CT or PET-CT scan reports
- HLA typing and donor compatibility report
- Previous chemotherapy/treatment history
- Referring oncologist's treatment plan letter
Patient information needed
- Current diagnosis, stage, and disease subtype
- History of prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy
- Planned type of stem cell transplant (autologous/allogeneic)
- Donor availability and HLA match status
- Current weight, height, and performance status
- Any organ dysfunction (lung, kidney, heart)
- List of current medications and allergies
- Availability of a caregiver for the transplant period
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 Total Body Irradiation (TBI) in India
What is Lymphoma?
Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that originates in lymphocytes, the immune cells that travel through the lymphatic system. It can arise in lymph nodes, the spleen, bone marrow, or virtually any organ, and encompasses a wide spectrum of subtypes ranging from slow-growing (indolent) to highly aggressive forms.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Lymphoma?
Common signs include painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin; persistent fatigue; unexplained weight loss; drenching night sweats; and fever — a cluster sometimes referred to clinically as 'B symptoms.' Some people also experience shortness of breath, itching, or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen if the spleen or abdominal nodes are involved. These symptoms can overlap with many other conditions, and their presence alone is not sufficient to establish a diagnosis of lymphoma.
How is Lymphoma diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with a clinical evaluation, blood tests (including a full blood count, LDH, and beta-2 microglobulin levels), and imaging such as CT or PET-CT scanning to assess the extent of disease. A biopsy of an affected lymph node or tissue — analysed with immunohistochemistry and, where indicated, molecular or genetic testing — is essential to confirm the specific lymphoma subtype. Staging (using systems such as the Ann Arbor or Lugano classification) and relevant prognostic indices (such as the International Prognostic Index for non-Hodgkin lymphoma) then guide treatment planning.
How is Lymphoma treated?
Treatment is highly individualised and depends on the lymphoma subtype, stage, patient age, overall health, and specific molecular features. Options range from active surveillance ('watch and wait') for certain slow-growing indolent lymphomas to chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, or combinations of these for more aggressive or advanced disease. In eligible patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma, high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation — or, in selected cases, allogeneic transplantation — may offer the best chance of sustained remission.
Can Lymphoma be treated without a procedure?
The majority of lymphoma treatment is non-surgical. Indolent lymphomas that are asymptomatic and low-burden may be managed initially with active monitoring alone. When treatment is needed, chemotherapy regimens (such as R-CHOP for many B-cell lymphomas), monoclonal antibody immunotherapy, targeted small-molecule agents, and radiotherapy are the primary tools, and many patients achieve remission without any surgical intervention.
When is Total Body Irradiation (TBI) considered for Lymphoma?
Total Body Irradiation (TBI) 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 Lymphoma?
Lymphoma is typically evaluated and managed by a medical oncologist or haematologist with specific expertise in lymphoid malignancies, often in close collaboration with a radiation oncologist when radiotherapy is part of the plan, and with a bone marrow transplant specialist if stem cell transplantation is being considered.
How do I choose a doctor for Lymphoma?
When selecting a care team, look for a specialist with documented experience in the specific lymphoma subtype relevant to your case, access to a multidisciplinary tumour board, and affiliation with a centre that offers the full range of therapies — including advanced options such as stem cell transplantation and clinical trials — along with structured long-term follow-up.
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.
