Costs of radiation treatment for breast, lung, and prostate cancer patients vary greatly based on reasons not connected to patient characteristics, suggesting broad inefficiency in Medicare payment expenditures, a team of researchers from University of California, San Diego School of Medicine reported in...
Salaries and employee benefits accounted for 78% of the costs. An average of 5439 radiation treatments were given annually with each treatment machine, at a cost $123 per treatment. The cost of a curative course of radiation treatment (average of 21 treatments) was $2583, and the cost of ...
Cost Comparison of Radiation Treatment Options After Lumpectomy for Breast Cancer Background Radiation therapy (RT) after lumpectomy for breast cancer can be delivered with several different regimens. We evaluated a cost-minimization strategy to select among RT options. RA Greenup,MS Camp,AG Taghian...
radiation in treatment of in-stent restenosis: The INHIBIT randomised controlled trial In-stent restenosis is a major limitation of intracoronary stenting. Ionising gamma radiation has been shown to reduce recurrence of restenosis after stent placement. We aimed to compare the effects of intracoronary ...
Adjuvant radiotherapy represents a key component in curative-intent treatment for early-stage breast cancer patients. In recent years, two accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) techniques are preferred for this population in our organization: electron-based Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) an...
Generally, both studies showed a benefit for additional RT, affirming the usefulness of additional radiation treatment to SOC alone. Table 3 Comparison of costs (extended view see supplementary Table S4) Full size table In conclusion, base case results for SOC differ between different studies (SOC...
