Cost-effectiveness analysis of breast cancer screening by mammography in average-risk women in China
Main Article Content
Abstract
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women worldwide and is often at an advanced stage when clinical diagnosis. Fortunately, mammography could increase the detection rate of early-stage breast cancer. In this study, we conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis of breast cancer screening compared with no screening for average-risk women aged 45-69 every two years in China. Parameters about screening, costs, and utilities were taken from previous studies. Compared with no screening, mammography screening cost $1566.12 more with a reduction of 0.0088 QALYs (Quality-Adjusted Life Years), which was absolutely dominant. In summary, breast cancer screening by mammography was more recommended to high-risk women rather than average-risk women in China.
