Estamos viviendo un cambio social en la sanidad sin precedentes en la historia de la humanidad. La sociología moderna intenta explicar este cambio mediante los conceptos de modernización reflexiva, vida o sociedad líquida o fin de la historia. Este cambio social se traduce en un nuevo modelo de pacientes más informado y con unas mayores expectativas con respecto a la sanidad y a la salud. Mayor información no supone mejor conocimiento y más responsabilidad sobre la salud. Para ello se requiere aumentar la consciencia social e individual de las personas como agentes de salud y como usuarios responsables. La Universidad de los pacientes aparece como proyecto orientado a aumentar la alfabetización sanitaria y cívica de la población y como necesidad de adaptar los sistemas sanitarios a las nuevas necesidades generadas por un nuevo modelo de usuario.
The objective of this paper is to introduce the methodology of economic analysis in health care, and its application to the measurement of the efficiency analysis of prostate cancer treatment. We presented the methodology of economic analysis. To review its application in prostate cancer treatment, we performed a bibliographic search in the main biomedical databases (February 1988 -January 2001 to identify economic evaluation studies that compared both costs and effects of prostate cancer treatments. The lack of economic studies for localized prostate cancer and the diversity of treatments for advanced prostate cancer make it difficult to make comparisons across studies and to make therapeutic recommendations. Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (2001) 4, 217-220.
