ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
We sought to estimate per patient and annual aggregate health care costs related to metastatic prostate cancer.METHODS:
Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results-Medicare database, we identified fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries ages 66 and older diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer or claims with diagnosis codes for metastatic disease (indicating tumor progression following diagnosis) between 2007 and 2017. We measured annual health care costs and compared costs between cases and a sample of beneficiaries without prostate cancer.RESULTS:
We estimate that per-patient annual costs attributable to metastatic prostate cancer are $31,427 (95% CI $31,219-$31,635; 2019 dollars). Annual attributable costs rose over time, from $28,311 (95% CI $28,047-$28,575) in 2007-2013 to $37,055 (95% CI $36,716-$37,394) in 2014-2017. In aggregate, health costs attributable to metastatic prostate cancer are $5.2 to $8.2 billion per year.CONCLUSIONS:
The per patient annual health care costs attributable to metastatic prostate cancer are substantial and have increased over time, corresponding to the approval of new oral therapies used in treating metastatic prostate cancer.Palavras-chave
