Project Details
Abstract
Cancer patients may suffer from side effects of radiation therapy so some advanced radiation equipment
provide lower risk of these side effects but costlier treatments such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy
and proton therapy. Studying economic cost for this advanced radiation therapy was lacking. This study aims
to evaluate the health costs including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, side effects etc. to calculate
the proportion of radiation therapy for the patients with pancreatic cancer. And, then extend the results to
evaluate the economic cost or benefit of proton therapy.
