DIAGNOSING – STAGING – RT PLANNING THERAPY EVALUATION FOLLOW-UP

Cancer expenditures Non-imaging: USD 30.6 billion PET 320 million Imaging 1.2 billion Yang & Czernin, JNM 2011;86S-92S Imaging constitutes a minor part of cancer care expenditures Imaging

Dinan et al, JAMA 2010; – but outpaces the increase in total cancer costs

Dinan et al, JAMA 2010; Increase in imaging cost mainly driven by PET

PET, Cost and survival among 51,374 Medicare beneficiares with lung cancer Dinan, J Thorac Onc 2014;512-18

PET, Cost and survival among 51,374 Medicare beneficiares with lung cancer Dinan, J Thorac Onc 2014; Increasing total health care costs  Increasing use of chemotherapy (not temporarily correlated with the use of PET)  Increase in costs associated with comorbidity

PET, Cost and survival among 51,374 Medicare beneficiares with lung cancer Dinan, J Thorac Onc 2014; Increasing total health care costs  Increasing use of chemotherapy (not temporarily correlated with the use of PET)  Increase in costs associated with comorbidity Significant increase in the use of PET  Stage-migration  Reduced rates of surgery and radiotherapy  Decreasing inpatient health care cost

Brief introduction to Health Economy

CUA - Cost Utility Analysis Compares alternative interventions on cost and effect adjusted for quality (quality of life) Standardized and validated interviews or questionnaires a prerequisite Enables broader comparison ICER, i.e. $/QALY

CEA - Cost Effectiveness Analysis Compares effectiveness (accuracy, survival) and costs between alternative interventions – i.e. EUR/correct diagnosis Most frequently applied method in health Only valid in direct comparison of different methods/treatment Based on a clinical trial or modeling

CBA - Cost Benefit Analysis Compares alternative interventions on cost and the value of an effect. Compare present value of benefit and present value of cost Rarely used in health sciences, but enables us to put a value on the benefit/effect and thus compare non- related interventions. What is better: a new scanner or a new bicycle road..

No! But, the PET/CT is the tool that enables improved RT planning, increasing dose and tumour control

FOLLOW-UP

PET/CT as a Cost Saver in Oncology Dream or Reality? PET/CT is a valuable signpost with a –partially deserved- pricy reputation Used wisely PET/CT is the key to cost-effective improvements in the care of cancer patients and sometimes even a cost saver PET/CT can play a key role in the development and implementation of personalized medicine
