ASCO Statement: A Conceptual Framework to Assess the Value of Cancer Treatment Options

• Patients are increasingly responsible for a greater proportion of the cost of their health care. • To ensure informed decision making, patients need access to both clinical and cost information about their treatment options . • Patients need a clear understanding of the possible clinical benefits and harms of treatment options available to them, along with an appreciation of how these options differ with respect to the relative financial consequences they will face.
