TY - JOUR AU - Abreha, Solomon Kibret PY - 2019 DA - 2019/05/21 TI - Model-based cost-effectiveness analysis of external beam radiation therapy for the treatment of localized prostate cancer: a systematic review JO - Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation SP - 10 VL - 17 IS - 1 AB - External beam radiotherapy is the recommended but expensive treatment option for localized prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men worldwide. A cost-effectiveness study is needed given the excessive cost of radiotherapy treatment and the high prevalence of prostate cancer. The aim of this systematic review was to assess and identify studies that examined model based economic evaluation of external beam radiation therapy for the treatment of localized prostate cancer.
