The Costs of Treating Breast Cancer in the US
PharmacoEconomics, 04/09/09
Campbell JD et al. - Experts in the field have recommended the societal perspective for US-based cost-effectiveness analyses. Most lifetime cost estimates were likely an underestimate for today's lifetime cost of treating breast cancer because of changes in practice patterns and improved survival. Further societal-based cost studies that differentiate costs by stage, age and treatment time, and include the latest practice patterns would be valuable toward informing US-based cost-effectiveness studies for preventive as well as breast cancer treatment interventions.
