Abstract「要旨」現行の判断樹および検査の診断データに基づき, 非小細胞癌(病期IIIB以下)における胸部FDG-PETの, 諸検査料, 入院手術費, 余命を含めた医療経済効果に関して, 判断分析を行った. 効果分析の対象(有病率71.4%)を1,000例とし, 全例胸部CT後に胸部FDG-PETを得るものとした. その結果, 気管支鏡生検を約半数に減じ, 縦隔鏡生検と治癒手術例を増加(115例)させ, 非治癒手術を減少させる(51例). このため, 軽度ながら医療費の高騰(胸部FDG-PETの1検査コストを10万円とした場合: 10.5%の割高)をもたらすが, 平均余命を軽度延長させる(0.607年/患者). 胸部FDG-PETの1検査コストを10万円とすると, その医療費増額分は21.8万円/年/患者となる. 非小細胞癌における胸部CT + 胸部FDG-PETプログラムは cost-effective ではないにしても, 費用便益分析上, 有用であると思われる.

AbstractDecision tree analysis was used to assess cost-effectiveness of chest FDG-PET in patients with a pulmonary tumor (non-small cell carcinoma, <= Stage IIIB), based on the data of the current decision tree. Decision tree models were constructed with two competing strategies (CT alone and CT plus chest FDG-PET) in 1,000 patient population with 71.4% prevalence. Baselines of FDG-PET sensitivity and specificity on detection of lung cancer and lymph node metastasis, and mortality and life expectancy were available from references. Chest CT plus chest FDG-PET strategy increased a total cost by 10.5% when a chest FDG-PET study costs 0.1 million yen, since it increased the number of mediastinoscopy and curative thoracotomy despite reducing the number of bronchofiberscopy to half. However, the strategy resulted in a remarkable increase by 115 patients with curable thoracotomy and decrease by 51 patients with non-curable thoracotomy. In addition, an average life expectancy increased by 0.607 year/patient, which means increase in medical cost is approximately 218,080 yen/year/patient when a chest FDG-PET study costs 0.1 million yen. In conclusion, chest CT plus chest FDG-PET strategy might not be cost-effective in Japan, but we are convinced that the strategy is useful in cost-benefit analysis.
