ASCO Statement: A Conceptual Framework to
Assess the Value of Cancer Treatment Options
•
Patients are increasingly responsible for a greater proportion of
the cost of their health care.
•
To ensure informed decision making,
patients need access to
both
clinical and cost
information
about their
treatment
options
.
•
Patients need a clear understanding of the
possible clinical
benefits and harms
of
treatment options
available to them,
along with an appreciation of how these options differ with
respect to the relative financial consequences they will face.
