Het modelleren van effecten en kosten van darmkanker screening
Abstract
The thesis focused on the potential effects and costs of population-based colorectal cancer (CRC) screening by considering two overarching questions. In the first part of the thesis the potential impact of current screening policies on the CRC disease burden and costs in the population was investigated. In this part the situations in the US as a whole, the states of Louisiana and New Jersey in particular, and the province of Ontario, Canada, were considered as examples of regions with different screening policies. In the second part of the thesis different strategies were investigated by which health effects and costs of CRC screening could be optimized. In this part the focus was mainly on noninvasive CRC screening tests.
