摘要: Background This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of combination chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgical intervention (CRS) vs definitive chemotherapy radiotherapy (CR) in clinical stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients at academic nonacademic centers. Methods Patients with NSCLC receiving CR or CRS from 1998 to 2010 were identified National Cancer Data Base. Propensity score matching on patient, tumor, treatment characteristics was performed. Medicare allowable charges used for costs. The incremental ratio (ICER) based probabilistic 5-year survival calculated as cost per life-year gained. Results We 5,265 matched patient pairs. Surgical resection imparted an increased effectiveness 0.83 life-years, ICER $17,618. Among centers, 1,634 demonstrated a benefit 0.86 life-years gained, $17,124. At 3,201 had 0.81 resection, $18,144. Finally, 3,713 between Academic center 1.5 months gained dominated model lower estimates associated 30-day mortality rates. Conclusions In NSCLC, selective addition is cost-effective compared chemoradiation therapy These conclusions are valid over range clinically meaningful variations outcomes.
