Analysis Tool Shows Proton Therapy Less Expensive Than IMRT for Advanced Head and Neck Cancers
The episodic cost of care using intensity-modulated proton therapy in advanced stage head and neck cancer is less expensive than intensity-modulated radiotherapy, according to new findings. The new proof-of-concept study uses a cost analysis tool that can be used to outline the value of competing healthcare technologies and treatments. More...18 Sep 2014
