A Cost-Minimization Analysis of Alternative Strategies in Diagnosing Pancreatic Cancer

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2004
Several modalities currently exist for tissue confirmation of suspected pancreatic cancer prior to therapy. Since there is a paucity of cost-minimization studies comparing these different biopsy modalities, we analyzed costs and examined effectiveness of four alternative strategies for diagnosing pancreatic cancer.A decision analysis model of patients ...

What Is Cost- Minimization Analysis?

2009
This chapter analyses the appropriate use of cost-minimization analysis (CMA) as a valid and reliable method of health economic evaluation based on high-quality sources of clinical evidence with regard to the clinical equivalence between two drugs. The chapter emphasizes the manner in which CMA has previously been misused to support ‘me-too’ drugs ...
