Are you a candidate for proton therapy, and what would it cost?
Canada has no proton therapy centre, so Canadians are treated abroad. We send your medical reports to proton therapy centres in India, Spain, the United States, Japan, China, Germany and other countries. The centre’s doctors review your case, and you learn whether you are a candidate and what your treatment would likely cost.

How much does proton therapy cost abroad?
The price depends on your diagnosis, your treatment plan and the centre. In written quotes that centres sent us in November 2026, treatment started at these prices:
- IndiafromUSD 45,000
- SpainfromUSD 60,000
- United StatesfromUSD 100,000
These figures are for the treatment. Flights, accommodation and daily costs are extra. The centre gives the price for your case after its doctors review your reports.
Would you like a proton therapy centre to review your case?
You start by sending us your recent medical reports. With your written consent, we share them with proton therapy centres in the countries you choose. The centre’s doctors tell us whether you are a candidate and, if you are, send a treatment plan and an estimated cost. We pass every answer to you. Our review also covers the public funding routes that may apply in your province.
Does my provincial insurance cover it?
It may. Every province has a funding route for treatment that cannot be provided in Canada, and people use it: Ontario approved 57 out-of-country proton therapy applications between 2010 and 2019, and 29 more in 2024. Your physician makes the application, and the rules differ by province.
Where is proton therapy available?
