Cost of Patient Time for Cancer Treatment in the United States
Although a number of studies have addressed the costs of medical treatments for cancer care, few studies have estimated the patient time costs associated with cancer care. To estimate the time cost of U.S. patients' cancer care, Yabroff et al. (p. 14) used Surveillance Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)–Medicare data for more than 760,000 patients aged 65 and older with 11 types of cancer and more than 1 million matched non-cancer control subjects for 1995 to 2001. Service frequencies were combined with time and time value estimates. The net cost during the first year of treatment was estimated at $2.3 billion
