Project Description

This study compared the costs and benefits of personalized medicine to identify the approaches that will be the most cost-effective to screen younger women to identify those at increased risk of developing breast cancer. This modeling study assessed the cost-effectiveness of breast cancer prevention/screening activities directed at younger women. Specifically, it can identify which current and future technologies when targeted at a specific cohort of young women will be the most cost-effective. This study is critical for the establishment of prevention/screening programs for young women as guidelines and coverage decisions are now largely based on long-term impacts identified through modeling studies.
