摘要: Several major issues emerge when combining the “dismal science” of economics1 with science oncology. With rising healthcare costs yet limited resources, it becomes important to know how factor economic considerations into medical decision-making process. This task is made more difficult by paucity comparative studies and outcomes (under general term cost-effectiveness) quality life; as a result, clinicians are left on their own decide “who does what whom, at cost, whose money.”
