The significant costs of prostate cancer management—An analysis from a Caribbean hospital

This analysis shows that prostate cancer has a significant financial burden on the Trinidadian economy. Efforts must be dedicated to early screening and prevention, and policymakers should be aware of the economic impact of the disease when making budgetary allocations. Although diagnostics can be costly, it likely minimizes larger costs associated with extensive treatment and acute hospitalizations related to metastatic disease, as seen in this study.
