Abstract
Healthcare costs of transarterial chemoembolization in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma Waleed Fateen,1,2 Farooq Khan,1 Richard J O’Neill,3 Martin W James,1 Stephen D Ryder,1 Guruprasad P Aithal1,2 1NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust and University of Nottingham, 2Nottingham Digestive Diseases Centre, University of Nottingham, 3Department of Radiology, Nottingham University Hospitals, NHS Trust, Nottingham, UK Background: A meta-analysis comparing drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) with conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) has recently been published. On balance, no significant differences were found in terms of objective response and overall survival. The impact on healthcare costs had been studied in small series based on a hypothetical model and was in favor of DEB-TACE. We aimed to evaluate and compare healthcare costs and effectiveness of both modalities in a cohort of patients from Nottingham, UK.Methods: Using a dedicated radiology database, we identified all patients who had undergone cTACE or DEB-TACE between 2006 and 2012 at a single tertiary referral center based in Nottingham. We collected clinical data, including treatment response, postprocedure complications and 30-day mortality. Costing models were constructed to present both our local hospital perspective as well as the national health service position.Results: During our study period, 101 procedures were performed on 43 patients (76 cTACE procedures on 26 patients and 25 DEB-TACE procedures on 17 patients). Overall, 11/26 in cTACE and 5/17 in DEB-TACE group had progressive disease (p
