12.90 to 13.09 million VND when calculating 100% of T-IV wastes. For the entire course of treatment, T-SC economises from 45.11 to 232.16 million VND in early stage and from 25.52 to 91.65 million VND in metastasis stage depending on the percentage of wastage. In the minimized cost components, drug cost accounts for the highest proportion, fluctuating from 70.52% to 94.27% based on stage and portion of wastage. Other cost components are insignificant and do not change the value in all cases. Conclusions: T-SC is more economical than T-IV in treatment of HER2+ breast cancer in both cases of early and metastasis stage. In particular, drug cost is the most economical.
