Cost‐Outcome of Radiotherapy for Local Control and Overall Survival Outcomes for Selected Cancers
This study demonstrates that the absolute costs associated with achieving 5-year local control and overall survival outcomes with radiotherapy are comparatively low across several major cancer types. These findings highlight the efficiency of radiotherapy in delivering meaningful clinical outcomes and can help inform service planning, investment decisions and prioritisation of radiotherapy within cancer care strategies.
