Marginal health care expenditures for melanoma care in the United States
This study found that adjusted marginal expenditures for melanoma were higher than those with NMSC but lower than other nonskin cancers, with office-based care and inpatient expenditures contributing to most of the expenditures. The findings suggest that concerted efforts are needed to control the primary cost drivers to reduce the associated burden of potentially preventable skin cancer like melanoma.
