Cost-effectiveness of multitarget stool DNA testing vs colonoscopy or fecal immunochemical testing for colorectal cancer screening in Alaska native people
Mayo Clinic Proceedings Apr 15, 2021
Redwood DG, Dinh TA, Kisiel JB, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the cost-effectiveness of multitarget stool DNA testing (MT-sDNA) compared with colonoscopy and fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) for Alaska Native adults. Researchers used a Markov model to calculate the three screening test effects over 40 years. Compared with no screening, each strategy reduced costs and increased quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs). It has been reported that screening by MT-sDNA results in the largest QALY savings. The results revealed that screening by MT-sDNA in the Alaska Native population was cost-effective compared with screening by colonoscopy and FIT for a wide range of adherence scenarios in Markov model analysis. With perfect adherence, CRC incidence was reduced by 52% with colonoscopy, 61% with annual FIT, and 66% with MT-sDNA.
