Question 1

How much does an Oncologist (Cancer Specialist) consultation cost in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

In Dhaka, a private oncologist consultation usually costs about 800 to 2,000 BDT for a new visit, with follow-up visits often 500 to 1,000 BDT. Senior professors at top private hospitals may charge 1,500 to 3,000 BDT. Government cancer hospitals such as NICRH in Dhaka and medical-college oncology departments charge a small ticket fee. Note that cancer treatment costs (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery and tests) are separate and much higher than the consultation fee.

Question 2

How do I book an appointment and what should I bring?

Accepted Answer

You can book online through this directory, or call the doctor's chamber or hospital directly; many oncologists also accept appointments through hospitals like NICRH, Delta, Labaid Cancer, Ahsania Mission Cancer Hospital, Square, Evercare and United. Bring all your biopsy and histopathology reports, any CT/MRI/PET or ultrasound scans, previous prescriptions, and a list of current medicines. If you already have a cancer diagnosis, carry the original slides and reports so the oncologist can confirm the type and stage without repeating tests.

Question 3

Who is the best Oncologist (Cancer Specialist) in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

The 'best' oncologist for you depends on your cancer type and the treatment you need, since medical, radiation and surgical oncologists handle different roles. On this page you can compare verified oncologists in Dhaka by their degrees (such as MD/FCPS in Oncology), years of experience, hospital affiliation and consultation fee, then choose one who treats your specific cancer. For complex cases, look for a doctor attached to a hospital with chemotherapy and radiotherapy facilities so all your treatment can stay in one place.

Question 4

Can I consult an Oncologist (Cancer Specialist) online in Dhaka?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many oncologists in Dhaka offer online or telemedicine consultations over video or phone, which is useful for reviewing reports, discussing biopsy results, getting a second opinion, and follow-up after chemotherapy. Look for the telemedicine label on a doctor's profile to book. However, the first diagnosis, physical examination, chemotherapy infusions and radiotherapy must be done in person at a hospital, so online care works best alongside, not instead of, in-clinic treatment.
