متن کاملCost-effectiveness analysis of screening for gastric cancer in Japan.
Cost-effectiveness analysis of gastric cancer screening in Japan was performed, and the cost-effectiveness ratio was compared with that of colorectal cancer screening. The analytical model was the same as that adopted in our previous study on colorectal cancer screening (Tsuji et al. 1991). The results indicated that the cost per case-fatality prevented by colorectal cancer screening was 5.5 an...
