Systematic review of the evidence sources applied to cost-effectiveness analyses for older women with primary breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To appraise the sources of evidence and methods to estimate input parameter values in decision-analytic model-based cost-effectiveness analyses of treatments for primary breast cancer (PBC) in older patients (≥ 70 years old).
