The Economic Impact of Technical Change in the Local Treatment of Breast Cancer

Abstract: Some studies suggest that breast-conserving treatment increases the cost of breast cancer. Estimates from a social perspective show that incremental cost depends on the proportion of lumpectomies done in outpatient facilities and on the demand for reconstructive surgery. Conservative treatment reduces spending within a reasonable range of values.

“…[5][6][7][8] Several studies of the economic impact of changes in breast cancer surgical treatment have suggested that BCS with RT may be more costly than mastectomy without reconstruction, although the results are not conclusive. [9][10][11] Other studies that have assessed the costs of breast cancer treatment have focused on costs of all medical care received by individuals with a breast cancer diagnosis 12 or have included care provided in a single location. [13][14][15] This study provides estimates of the cost of treatment derived from a cross-section of a large population-based cohort of elderly women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.…”

“…In Studien zum psychosozialen Impact von PM (Frost et al 2000;Hatcher et al 2001) Eine Brustamputation ist ein großer chirurgischer Eingriff, der nicht ohne (signifikante) Neben-und Folgewirkungen (physische und psychische Morbidität: Narben-und Schulterschmerzen, Einschränkung der sexuellen Identität etc.) bei 10-60 % bleibt und auch nicht als 100 %iger Schutz gegen Mammakarzinom gesehen werden kann (Sakorafas und Tsiotou 2000;Eisen et al 2000;Wallace et al 2001), zusätzlich auch erwähnenswerte Komplikationsfolgekosten mit sich bringt (Kurdas 1997). Etwa 5 % des Brustdrüsengewebes (versprengtes Brustdrüsengewebe) bleiben trotz Amputation zurück (Eisen et al 2000), 1,2 % mastektomierter (Hochrisiko-) Frauen erkranken trotz Amputation an Mammakarzinom (auch Narbenkarzinom) (Sakorafas und Tsiotou 2000).…”
