Advanced Prostate cancer and Colorectal Cancer: Cost and Cost effectiveness of treatment

Brown and colleagues (1999) developed an illuminating method for describing costs

. They split each patient's course into three parts: initial phase (first 6 months), terminal phase (last 12 months), and continuing care (whatever is left in the middle). They also estimated cancer-related costs and other medical costs by comparing matched control patients. The terminal phase in 1990-1994 had cancer-related costs of $15,000; the overall course had cancer-related costs of $33,700 and about an equal amount for noncancer-related costs.
