Earlier this week, GE HealthCare also announced that in its sponsored pharmaco-economic study, published in peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE, the incidence, prevalence, diagnostic pathways, and treatments of different patients with metastatic or recurrent breast cancer were analyzed using a combination of widely accepted statistical modelling methods to estimate the clinical and associated economic impact of adding a PET/CT scan with a breast oncology PET tracer to the current standard diagnostic process. The study shows that adding a PET/CT scan with a breast oncology PET tracer may increase the accuracy of knowing the estrogen receptor (ER) status, and increased accuracy may help clinicians select more effective treatments and decrease the rate of re-biopsies, resulting in the potential cost savings of $142M to the US healthcare system over a five-year period.
