What does treatment cost in China vs Western countries?

In the U.S., the cost of VRd induction plus autologous HSCT can exceed $150,000–$300,000, and BCMA CAR-T therapy (e.g., ide-cel) costs around $400,000–$500,000. In China, VRd plus HSCT typically ranges from $30,000–$60,000, while domestic BCMA CAR-T (cilta-cel or equecabtagene) costs approximately $50,000–$80,000. These figures include hospital stays, medications, and physician fees but may vary by hospital and patient complexity.
