Abstract:
The cost of radiotherapy, which concerns 150,000 new patients yearly in France has been estimated 1700 euros per patients in this country, 50% lower than the European average. Economic evaluations of radiotherapy have related the cost of either curative or palliative treatment to the medical outcome.

The cost effectiveness ranges from 5,000 to 25,000 euros per life year gained.
