HTAThe clinical effectiveness and costeffectiveness of different surveillance mammography regimens after the treatment for primary breast cancer: systematic reviews, registry database analyses and economic evaluation NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indir...

Survival Analysis for White Non-Hispanic Female Breast Cancer Patients

“…Presently, it is recommended that women between ages 20 to 39 complete a clinical breast examination (CBE) every 3 years. Those who are asymptomatic but aged 40 years or older are recommended to receive CBE every year (Robertson et al, 2011;Smith et al, 2013). Women who have a history of breast cancer in their families should start screening on a regular basis before age 40.…”

MARIA M4: clinical evaluation of a prototype ultrawideband radar scanner for breast cancer detection

“…Magnetic resonance imaging is currently used for initial cancer detection in women at high risk of developing BC but is a complex investigation with high direct and indirect costs. [8][9][10][11] MMG is one of the most effective detection techniques, but suffers from relatively low sensitivity, entails exposure to ionizing radiation and also involves uncomfortable compression of the breast. MMG also performs less well in younger, more dense breasts, which is pertinent as breast density is now established as an independent risk factor for developing BC irrespective of other known risk factors.…”

Cross-National Comparison of Medical Costs Shared by Payers and Patients: A Study of Postmenopausal Women with Early-Stage Breast Cancer Based on Assumption Case Scenarios and Reimbursement Fees

“…The unit costs were derived or estimated from various public data sources or published literature in Japan [23,26,27], the UK [28,29,30,31,32], and Germany [33,34,35,36]. Most of the costs were obtained from these sources for 2011 (the UK) or 2012 (Japan and Germany).…”
