The Cost-Effectiveness of CT Colonography in Screening for Colorectal Neoplasia

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of CT Colonography for Colorectal Cancer Screening Program to Working Age in Japan

Objectives: To assess the cost-effectiveness of computed tomography colonography (CTC) for a colorectal cancer screening program in a working population (aged 40–60 years) from a health care payer’s perspective in Japan. Methods: A Markov model for colorectal cancer was constructed to estimate the long-term (10-year, 20-year, and 30year) effect of introducing CTC for three different strategies ...

CT colonography and colorectal screening.

Re: Cost-effectiveness of computed tomographic colonography screening for colorectal cancer in the Medicare population.

BACKGROUND The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) considered whether to reimburse computed tomographic colonography (CTC) for colorectal cancer screening of Medicare enrollees. To help inform its decision, we evaluated the reimbursement rate at which CTC screening could be cost-effective compared with the colorectal cancer screening tests that are currently reimbursed by CMS and a...
