    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Economics
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Cancer control programs require effective and cost-efficient strategies.
    • Evaluating diverse interventions like prevention, screening, and treatment is complex.
    • Oral cancer poses a significant burden, particularly in developing countries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a method for comparing the cost-effectiveness of various cancer control activities.
    • To apply this method to prioritize interventions for oral cancer control in developing nations.
    • To inform decision-making for resource allocation in cancer control programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a model to estimate long-term effects of cancer control activities on morbidity, mortality, quality of life, and cost.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Applied the method to analyze primary prevention, screening, and treatment activities for oral cancer.
  • Evaluated cost-effectiveness of different intervention combinations for a specified population.

    • Main Results:

    • The method allows for comparison of diverse cancer control strategies.
    • Analysis for oral cancer in Sri Lanka identified key priorities.
    • Primary prevention (e.g., anti-tobacco education) and screening emerged as highest priority interventions.

    Conclusions:

    • The described method provides a framework for prioritizing cancer control efforts.
    • Investing in primary prevention and screening offers the most cost-effective approach for oral cancer control.
    • This approach can guide resource allocation for optimizing cancer control program impact.
