Screening for colorectal cancer represented approximately two-thirds of the total cost; screening colonoscopy was approximately 60% of the total cost of cancer screening. Breast and cervical cancer screening represented the second and third largest screening costs, 15.4% and 14.7% (respectively) of ...
For all four screening tests, the median cash price was greater than the median negotiated price by an average of 27%.Conclusions:For common cancer screening tests, the distribution of hospital prices is wider than the actual prices reflected in claims data for the same screening services. ...
METHODS: We performed a cost-effectiveness analysis, employing the declining exponential approximation of life expectancy. Assumptions were put forth to bias the model in favor of cancer screening. Secondary comparisons were made between cancer screening and other interventions targeted to patients with ...
Although economic evaluations of both cervical and colorectal cancer screening have found them to be relatively cost-effective compared with doing nothing, such studies have not resolved the uncertainty about the best screening strategy for either disease. With cervical cancer, new evidence about the ...
This study was conducted in order to determine the most cost-effective strategy, in terms of interval and age range, forliver cancer screening in the high-risk population of Korea. A stochastic modelwas used to simulate the cost-effectiveness ofliver cancer screening by combined ultrasonography and...
Objective: The aims of this study are to find out whether the cancer screening program could reduce the social cost or not, and to evaluate its investment effect. Method: According to a Markov model, we developed system model which typifies prognosis of six main cancers was developed. The ...
Cervical cancer is the most frequent neoplasm among Kenyan women, with 4800 diagnoses and 2400 deaths per year. One reason is an extremely low rate of screening through pap smears, at 13.8% in 2014. Knowing the costs of screening will help planners and p

Worldwide, colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of death from cancer and the incidence is projected to increase. Many countries are exploring the introduction of organized screening programs, but there is limited information on the resources required and guidance for cost-effective implementatio...
Cervical-cancer screening strategies that involve the use of conventional cytology and require multiple visits have been impractical in developing countries. We used computer-based models to assess the cost-effectiveness of a variety of cervical-cancer screening strategies in India, Kenya, Peru, South ...
