This book explores topics of importance to all who have an interest
in economic methods for assessment of the efficacy and
effectiveness of new cancer treatments and in regulatory measures
relating to their marketing authorization and pricing. Targeted
therapies and modern immunotherapy are placing a substantial strain
on health care budgets. Regulation and economic methods to assess
the parameters for establishing efficacy and effectiveness are
therefore of prime importance. Payer authorities have to determine
whether the use of these novel therapies yields clinical benefits
that justify their increasing cost. In the simplest terms,
cost-effectiveness analyses quantify the ratio between the extent
to which an intervention raises healthcare costs and the extent to
which it improves health outcomes. Rigorous cost-effectiveness
analyses translate all health outcomes into quality-adjusted life
years. On the other hand, in order to sustain innovation, price
regulations must be coupled with efforts to ensure that drug
companies are still able to recoup their investments in high-risk
and high-costs research programs. Ultimately, decisions regarding
health care expenditures are also a question of society's
willingness to pay.
