Cost of toxicity?

IMRT vs. 3D-CRT in gynecological cancer (retrospective)

• IMRT: ↑ treatment cost

Costs

• IMRT : ↓ late overall toxicity (without compromising clinical outcome)  ↓ toxicity cost

• IMRT was not cost-effective during the early chronic toxicity phase, but it became more cost-effective over time.
