OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review was to identify articles that performed a cost-effectiveness analysis on different radiation treatment options for localized prostate cancer, summarize their findings, and highlight the main drivers of cost effectiveness. METHODS: A literature search was ...
While the initial investment costs can be high, cost-benefitanalysesshow stereotactic radiation therapy for lung cancer costs the health system less than other cancer treatments and conventional radiotherapy. This is in part because treatment is completed far more quickly. Formal cost-benefit analyses h...
Although in use for over 40 years, proton beam therapy for prostate cancer has only recently come under public scrutiny, due to its increased cost compared to other forms of treatment. While the last decade has seen a rapid accumulation of evidence to suggest that proton beam therapy is both...
PURPOSE: Tocompare, using a cost-effectiveness analysis, the quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALE) and cost between the 2 treatment options for intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer: (1) radiation (RT) with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or (2) radical prostatectomy (RP) followed ...
Cost-benefit analysis of 3D conformal radiation therapy--treatment of prostate cancer as a model. Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) is a promising new treatment technique based on the principle that improved precision in both tumor definition and dose delivery will enhance ...
Background/aim:This study aimed to evaluate the treatment outcomes of radiation therapy (RT) for localized prostate cancer in elderly patients aged ≥75 years. Patients and methods:We retrospectively investigated data of patients aged ≥75 years with prostate cancer who underwent intensity-modulated ra...
Annually, health costs attributable to metastatic prostate cancer amounted to between USD 5.2 and USD 8.2 billion for the years 2007 until 2017 in the US [10]. This study thrives to analyze the cost-effectiveness of systemic therapy in combination with radiotherapy compared to sole systemic ...
Radiation therapy (RT) after prostatectomy: the case for salvage therapy as opposed to adjuvant therapy. Int J Cancer 2001; 96: 94 A/8... SE Schild - 《International Journal of Cancer》 被引量: 78发表: 2001年 EAU guidelines on prostate cancer. Part II: Treatment of advanced, relapsing,...
“No patient or tumor-related factor affected the cost of radiation therapy by > $1000,” the authors wrote. The type and length of radiation therapy substantially increased cost as did the location of the radiation clinic. For prostate cancer, the authors wrote, “treatment in freestanding ...
Clinicians and patients should make treatment decisions together (shared decision-making) while using patient decision aids. 1. Introduction Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer among males in the Western world, with more than 1.11 million new cases diagnosed in 2012 and 307,000 deaths...
