Direct Economic Burden of High-Risk and Metastatic Melanoma in the Elderly: Evidence from the SEER-Medicare Linked Database
Applied Health Economics and Health Policy, 07/07/09

Davis KL et al. - The per-patient cost of advanced melanoma is high. Hospital services are the largest component of these costs. Monthly costs for subjects with stage IV melanoma were 67% higher than costs for subjects with stage IIIC disease and >3-fold higher than costs for patients with stages IIIA/B and IIB/C. However, when combining estimated monthly costs with median follow-up duration (a proxy for survival time), total costs incurred by Medicare appear to be highest for patients diagnosed at stage IIIA/B.
