Abstract Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) in medicine is a form of economic study that compares the relative value of medical technologies and health care services. It helps decision makers to formally evaluate proposed interventions and make informed choices based on the estimated health gains per dollar spent under each intervention. This study employs a CEA framework to assess an emerging imaging technology to determine whether its adoption will be appropriate in routine patient care. A significant challenge in lung cancer radiotherapy (RT) is respiration-induced tumor motion during positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). Respiratory gating may improve the image quality and delivery of curative doses to tumor. Respiratory-gated PET/CT is especially useful for locally advanced and inoperable non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Due to the heterogeneity in patients’ respiratory patterns, questions remain regarding who will benefit from respiratory gating. The effectiveness of respiratory gating can be measured by using quantitative improvements in PET/CT images. We previously developed a patient-specific motion management (PSMM) paradigm to identify patients who benefited from respiratory-gated PET/CT based on respiratory pattern analysis. This article presents a new CEA framework to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of PSMM compared to the population-based radiation oncology practice of motion management in more than 1,500 cancer patients.

肺癌放射治疗计划中患者特异性运动管理策略的成本效益

摘要 医学成本效益分析 (CEA) 是一种比较医疗技术和医疗保健服务相对价值的经济研究形式。它帮助决策者正式评估提议的干预措施,并根据每次干预所花费的每美元估计的健康收益做出明智的选择。本研究采用 CEA 框架来评估新兴的成像技术,以确定其在常规患者护理中的采用是否合适。肺癌放射治疗 (RT) 的一个重大挑战是正电子发射断层扫描/计算机断层扫描 (PET/CT) 期间呼吸诱导的肿瘤运动。呼吸门控可以提高图像质量和对肿瘤的治疗剂量。呼吸门控 PET/CT 尤其适用于局部晚期和无法手术的非小细胞肺癌 (NSCLC)。由于患者呼吸模式的异质性,关于谁将受益于呼吸门控的问题仍然存在。可以通过使用 PET/CT 图像中的定量改进来衡量呼吸门控的有效性。我们之前开发了一种特定于患者的运动管理 (PSMM) 范式,以基于呼吸模式分析识别受益于呼吸门控 PET/CT 的患者。本文提出了一个新的 CEA 框架,以评估 PSMM 与基于人群的运动管理放射肿瘤学实践在 1,500 多名癌症患者中的成本效益。我们之前开发了一种特定于患者的运动管理 (PSMM) 范式,以基于呼吸模式分析识别受益于呼吸门控 PET/CT 的患者。本文提出了一个新的 CEA 框架,以评估 PSMM 与基于人群的运动管理放射肿瘤学实践在 1,500 多名癌症患者中的成本效益。我们之前开发了一种特定于患者的运动管理 (PSMM) 范例,以基于呼吸模式分析识别受益于呼吸门控 PET/CT 的患者。本文提出了一个新的 CEA 框架,以评估 PSMM 与基于人群的运动管理放射肿瘤学实践在 1,500 多名癌症患者中的成本效益。
