Background: Radiotherapy is an effective curative treatment option for intermediate-to-high-risk localized prostate
cancer. Given that no significant difference was observed in survival and toxicities, we evaluated the cost-effectiveness
of ultra-hypo fractionated radiotherapy and conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for intermediate-to-high-risk
localized prostate cancer from the Chinese payer perspective.
Methods: We developed a Markov model with a 15-year time horizon to compare the cost and effectiveness of ultra-
hypo fractionated radiotherapy with those of conventionally fractionated radiotherapy for localized intermediate-
to-high-risk prostate cancer. Outcomes were measured in Quality-Adjusted Life-Years (QALYs), Incremental Cost-
Effectiveness Ratio (ICER), and Willingness-To-Pay (WTP). Univariable and probabilit.. View More»
