Cost‐Effectiveness Analysis of the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology in Fine‐Needle Aspiration Cytology of Salivary Gland Lesions
In this model based on MSRSGC estimates and real-world data, FNAC followed by surgery, if indicated, proved to be a more cost-efficient approach to diagnosing SGL than upfront surgery. Thus, patients and healthcare systems benefit from high-output centers that guarantee expert cytopathological diagnosis.
