Abstract

Aim: To describe the direct healthcare costs associated with repeated cytotoxic chemotherapy treatments for recurrent high-grade serous cancer (HGSC) of the ovaries. Patients & methods: Retrospective review of 66 women with recurrent stage III/IV HGSC ovarian cancer treated with repeated lines of cytotoxic chemotherapy in a Canadian University Tertiary Center. Results: Mean cost of treatment of first relapse was CAD$52,227 increasing by 38% for two, and 86% for three or more relapses with median overall survival of 36.0, 50.7 and 42.8 months, respectively. In-hospital care accounted for 71% and chemotherapy drugs accounted for 17% of the total costs. Conclusion: After the third relapse of HGSC, cytotoxic chemotherapy did not prolong survival but was associated with substantially increased healthcare costs.
