  • Title: An assessment of the impact of urine cytology screening using a computer-based model of bladder cancer.
    Author: Ellwein LB, Farrow GM, Friedell GH, Greenfield RE.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1984 Nov; 11(4):585-98. PubMed ID: 6506371.
    Abstract:
    Utilizing a computer-based model of bladder cancer, the applications of various urine cytology screening strategies are assessed. Outcomes for patients diagnosed by screening with respect to numbers of cases diagnosed, mean length of life, and numbers of cancer deaths are compared with a similar population of patients diagnosed after the development of symptoms. Diagnostic and treatment modality costs can be used to predict the cost per man-year of life extension afforded by a screening program.
