Cost-Effectiveness of Surgery for Spinal Metastasis
We found CT consisting of surgery and RT to be cost effective in six out of seven (85.7%) studies. Cost effectiveness might be even more pronounced in certain patient subgroups, such as patients with a high predicted survival. However, most studies did not report therapy details, a factor which could greatly influence cost-effectiveness.
