摘要: Assess the cost-effectiveness of an EGFR-mutation testing strategy for advanced NSCLC in first-line therapy with either gefitinib or carboplatin–paclitaxel Mexican institutions. Cost-effectiveness analysis using a discrete event simulation (DES) model to simulate two therapeutic strategies patients NSCLC. Strategy one included tested and given accordingly. chemotherapy all without testing. All results are presented 2014 US dollars. The was made data from frequency EGFR-mutation. A univariate sensitivity conducted on EGFR prevalence. Progression-free survival (PFS) transition probabilities were estimated IPASS simulated Weibull distribution, run parallel trials calculate probabilistic analysis. PFS 6.76 months (95 % CI 6.10–7.44) vs 5.85 months 5.43–6.29) non-testing group. one-way showed that has direct relationship prevalence, while ICER cost have inverse iterations had incremental costs 1 comparison 2. There is between testing, prevalence When is >10 % remains constant. This study could impact Latin American health policies regarding mutation detection treatment
