| Core Tip |
Half of the cases accounting for the worldwide esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) incidence occur in China, and there may be an opportunity to improve cancer survival with improved screening and surveillance. Our aim was to use a decision-analytic Markov model to study the cost-effectiveness of incorporating high-resolution microendoscopy (HRME) into an ESCC screening program in China. Our findings show that incorporating HRME into a screening program could be cost-effective, but larger studies confirming our preliminary estimates of HRME are necessary to confirm these results. |
