Economic Evaluation of Gene Panels & Sequencing Technologies: What can we learn from CEAs of Whole-Body CT Screening?

Talk recorded at the Centre for Personalised Medicine’s ‘Personalised Medicine & Resource Allocation’ conference. Whole-body CT scans and whole genome sequencing share a similar concept of examining virtually any part of the body to detect a tumour or other abnormality, or predict disease risk. The presentation identifies several approaches used in economic evaluations of whole-body CT scans that may help to refine methodological approaches to conducting economic evaluation of whole genome sequencing.
