Radical Excision of Malignant Lower-Limb Tumours: Cancer Surgery with High Stakes
Malignant soft-tissue tumours of the lower limb require radical excision to remove cancer completely and reduce recurrence risk.
What It Costs
For radical excision biopsy of malignant lower-limb tumours, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 7,700 – 11,200
• Anaesthetist: Typically included within major oncological surgery
Reconstruction and imaging may add substantially.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually strong:
• Classified as cancer surgery
• Oncology and hospitalisation benefits apply
• Pre-authorisation often required
Insurance Tip
Confirm whether reconstruction or limb-salvage procedures are covered under the same claim.
Conclusion
Cancer surgery is never minor. Insurance certainty is critical before treatment begins.
