Análise custo-efectividade do samário-153-EDTMP versus terapêutica convencional da dor em doentes com metástases ósseas múltiplas dolorosas em Portugal.
Prostate cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. In Portugal alone, according to a study published in 2003, the rate of new prostate cancer cases were 53 per 100,000 men (in 2000), with an age-standardized mortality rate of about 28 per 100,000 (in 1995).

description | Prostate cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. In Portugal alone, according to a study published in 2003, the rate of new prostate cancer cases were 53 per 100,000 men (in 2000), with an age-standardized mortality rate of about 28 per 100,000 (in 1995). Multiple bone metastases are one of the major complications of advanced prostate cancer. Samarium-EDTMP showed to be a safe and effective alternative for palliative treatment of bone metastases. The goal of this economic study is to assess the cost-effectiveness of Samarium-153-EDTMP for the treatment of pain due to multiple bone metastases in hormone-refractory prostate cancer versus conventional pain therapy, in Portugal.Cost-effectiveness study that compares the expected direct costs to the National Health System of managing patients with painful multiple bone metastases with Samarium-153-EDTMP versus conventional pain therapy, in Portugal, in a 4-moths period.The total direct 4 months cost was 2,311.91 euro for a patient treated with Samarium-153-EDTMP versus 2,450.74 euro for a patient under standard treatment. According to the model a patient treated with Samarium-153-EDTMP represents a 138.83 euros saving.Samarium-153-EDTMP was not only a very effective therapeutic option but also an option with less cost than the conventional pain therapy, in patients with pain due to multiple bone metastases, in Portugal. |
