“New Study on the Health Economics of Soft Tissue Sarcoma Treatment
A new scientific article from the Strexit 2 Project – ‘Economic Evaluations and Health Economic Models of Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Systematic Literature Review from a European and North American Perspective’ – has been published in Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology.
The study provides a comprehensive review of existing economic evaluations and health economic models related to soft tissue sarcomas (STS). Researchers, including Winan van Houdt and Alessandro Gronchi, the Primary Investigators of the STREXIT 2 Project, found that while a substantial number of publications exist, they often focus on a narrow patient subgroup—those ineligible for surgery.
Key findings of the study include:
- Most evaluations, especially for pharmaceuticals, use simplified methodologies applied across different jurisdictions.
- Several studies exhibit methodological limitations, such as short time horizons, inappropriate comparator selection, input data bias
- Given these issues, critical evaluation of past publications is essential to improve future economic assessments in this field.”
