The advent of molecularly targeted agents has brought major breakthroughs in oncology. However, because these drugs are expensive and financial resources are limited, attention to their cost-effectiveness is rapidly increasing. It seems that establishment of cost-effectiveness is complex but is determined for the most part by the cost of drug acquisition and the drug's efficacy. This article examines the cost-effectiveness of molecularly targeted drugs.
分子靶向药物的出现给肿瘤学带来了重大突破。然而,由于这些药物价格昂贵且财政资源有限,对其成本效益的关注正在迅速增加。成本效益的确定似乎很复杂,但在很大程度上取决于药物采购成本和药物疗效。本文探讨了分子靶向药物的成本效益。
