Abstract

Breast, colorectal and skin cancer screening and early diagnosis with treatment provides economic value, while lung cancer screening and early diagnosis with treatment came close to providing economic value. Bladder, endometrial, kidney, leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, pancreatic, prostate and thyroid cancer screening and early diagnosis with treatment were not found to have provided economic value.

Highlights

The cancer death rate fell 29% from 1991- 2017, whichCancer is the second leading cause of death in the United resulted in 2.9 million fewer deaths and the 5-year survivalStates and in the year 2020 over 1.8 million cancer cases were rate for all cancers rose from 49% in 1975 to 69% in 2015 projected to be diagnosed and over 600 thousand were (American Cancer Society, 2020)
The decline in cancer projected to die from the disease (American Cancer Society, deaths was mostly due to smoking-cessation programs, 2020)
The 5-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with expensive than later stage diagnosis and earlier stage metastatic lung cancer is 5% versus 57% for those patients treatment is often less invasive resulting in shorter treatment who have been diagnosed in an early stage when the cancer times and lower patient costs (WHO, 2017)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

States and in the year 2020 over 1.8 million cancer cases were rate for all cancers rose from 49% in 1975 to 69% in 2015 projected to be diagnosed and over 600 thousand were (American Cancer Society, 2020). Screening resulting in earlier stage diagnosis when (Ran et al, 2019) cervical cancer (Esselen, 2013) was found the cancer is more likely to respond to treatment seems to to be cost-effective. Study is to determine if cancer screening and an earlier stage diagnosis reduces mortality rates and medical costs and if so what types of cancer screening provide economic value. “A Comparative Expected Value Analysis Study to Determine If the Economic Benefits of Screening and Early Diagnosis Treatment of the Most Common Types of Cancer in the United States Provide Economic Value”
