Download Costs and Effectiveness of Colorectal Cancer Screening in the Elderly Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This background paper in OTA's series on preventive services for the elderly highlights the increasingly hard choices facing policy makers as they attempt to steer the U.S. health care system toward greater reliance on prevention. OTA found that screening elderly Americans for colorectal cancer with an annual fecal occult blood test (FOBT) could prevent 17 percent of all cases in the elderly but will raise the lifetime health care cost for each 65-yearold person who undergoes regular testing by as much as $700. Screening with both FOBT and periodic flexible sigmoidoscopy, as recommended by the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute, would be even more expensive, but has the potential for making even greater inroads into colorectal cancer incidence and mortality in the elderly.

Download Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

Cervical cancer is unique among cancers in that it is largely preventable, yet it still affects around 3,000 women each year. Screening can allow for almost all cervical cancers to be detected and treated before they have a chance to develop. But screening does not have the take-up that it should -- and in the past ten years there has been a long, slow decline in screening coverage leading to an increase in the rates of cervical cancer. Beyond these human costs, there is also a substantial financial cost to cervical cancer: not just on individuals but also on the NHS and state more widely. For the first time, Behind the Screen models the impact of an improved screening rate. It finds that the NHS currently spends around £21 million a year treating cervical cancer, while the state loses £9 million in tax revenue from women and their partners who stop work as a result. Women diagnosed with cervical cancer faced a combined financial loss of £14 million a year -- £5,844, on average, for each woman diagnosed. If screening coverage were to reach 100 per cent, it estimates that costs to the NHS would almost half, costs to the state would fall by a third, and total costs to women diagnosed with cervical cancer would fall by around 40 per cent. More importantly, incidence of cancer would also almost halve. Based on these findings, the report concludes by offering a set of recommendations for a renewed and concerted effort to increase the number of women regularly attending screening by removing some of the practical, psychological and emotional barriers.
