J Tuck et al. Public Health. 1989 Nov.

Abstract

This paper describes a hospital costing analysis of 85 colorectal cancer patients treated in the context of a randomised control trial at the Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham. Estimates are presented for investigation, surgical and inpatients costs. Comparisons between study and control group patients reveal only a small difference in overall costs of treatment.
