in 2020, the incidence of breast cancer was 2261419 cases worldwide, 1186598 cases in Africa and 817 cases in Senegal. However, direct medical costs of cancer treatment are not known in Senegal. For a better resource allocation, it is important to estimate costs. The purpose of this study is to analyze direct medical costs of breast cancer treatment at the Joliot Curie Institute in Dakar.
we conducted a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with breast cancer between January and December 2017 at the Joliot Curie Institute. A questionnaire survey and semi-structured interviews were conducted among patients and their relatives to reconstruct direct medical costs.
average direct medical costs of breast cancer treatment at the Joliot Curie Institute were $33 713.45 with a minimum of $1 495.15 and a maximum of $10 662.97 over an average period of 31 months. These costs include chemotherapy (29%); diagnosis (15%) and surgery (15%). Costs of radiotherapy and prescription medicines accounted for 13% for each procedure. Medical costs were related to educational level (p=0.05) and stage of disease (p=0.03).
direct medical costs of breast cancer treatment are very high in Senegal. Direct medical costs of maximum treatment is $10 662.97 and of minimum treatment is $495.15, reflecting an average cost of $3 713.45.
2020年，全球乳腺癌发病率为2261419例，非洲为1186598例，塞内加尔为817例。然而，塞内加尔癌症治疗的直接医疗费用尚不清楚。为了更好地进行资源分配，估算成本很重要。本研究的目的是分析达喀尔居里研究所乳腺癌治疗的直接医疗费用。
我们对2017年1月至12月在居里研究所被诊断为乳腺癌的患者进行了回顾性研究。对患者及其亲属进行了问卷调查和半结构化访谈，以重建直接医疗费用。
居里研究所乳腺癌治疗的平均直接医疗费用为33713.45美元，在平均31个月的时间里，最低为1495.15美元，最高为10662.97美元。这些费用包括化疗（29%）；诊断（15%）和手术（15%）。放疗和处方药费用每项程序占13%。医疗费用与教育水平（p=0.05）和疾病阶段（p=0.03）有关。
塞内加尔乳腺癌治疗的直接医疗费用非常高。最高治疗的直接医疗费用为10662.97美元，最低治疗费用为495.15美元，平均费用为3713.45美元。
