Effect of rising chemotherapy costs on the cost savings of colorectal cancer screening.
BACKGROUND Although colorectal cancer screening is cost-effective, it requires a considerable net investment by governments or insurance companies. If screening was cost saving, governments and insurance companies might be more inclined to invest in colorectal cancer screening programs. We examined whether colorectal cancer screening would become cost saving with the widespread use of the newer...
متن کاملEstimating Cost Savings from Early Cancer Diagnosis
We estimate treatment cost-savings from early cancer diagnosis. For breast, lung, prostate and colorectal cancers and melanoma, which account for more than 50% of new incidences projected in 2017, we combine published cancer treatment cost estimates by stage with incidence rates by stage at diagnosis. We extrapolate to other cancer sites by using estimated national expenditures and incidence ra...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of Colorectal Cancer Screening
Colorectal cancer is an important public health problem. Several screening methods have been shown to be effective in reducing colorectal cancer mortality. The objective of this review was to assess the cost-effectiveness of the different colorectal cancer screening methods and to determine the preferred method from a cost-effectiveness point of view. Five databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cost-E...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to make projections of the likely costs and yield resulting from the implementation of a faecal occult blood screening programme for colorectal cancer. DESIGN Cost and clinical data were derived from the MRC colorectal screening trial currently in progress in Nottingham, UK. SETTING The above data were used as the basis for modelling the likely implications were ...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of colorectal cancer screening strategies.
BACKGROUND Several screening tests are available to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) and reduce the incidence and mortality of CRC. The purpose of this review was to determine how current CRC screening strategies for CRC compare with no screening and whether agreement exists with regard to the cost effectiveness of different strategies. METHODS Databases were searched for cost-effectiveness ana...
