However, some private and some large government hospitals have one cancer unit but the number of cancer specialists in Bangladesh is less than one and a half.
On the other hand, the treatment for cancer in Bangladesh is inadequate on the one hand and quite expensive in the long run on the other.
As a result, if someone in the family gets cancer, it brings a kind of disaster on that family.

Officially, the cost of diagnosing and curing breast cancer depends on the patient’s condition from BDT 50,000 to BDT 1.5 lakh.
The cost is even higher in private hospitals.
tHe cost of treatment depends on the patient’s physical condition. In that case the expenditure can be planned if identified at an early stage.
