The benefits of detecting breast cancer early
#thankscancer #pharmacoeconomics #breastcancer #screening #breastcancernow

For the patient, it's the high probability of a cure and treatment that's less disruptive or has fewer long-term effects.

For those with an eye on costs, it's got to be the much lower costs.

Costs rise exponentially by increasing stage of breast cancer.

In a recent study, the cost of treating stage IV compared with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) was 35.6 times higher.
