Cost-Effectiveness and/or Cost-Benefit Analysis of Preventive Intervention In comparison to other preventive interventions and to commonly accepted cost-effectiveness benchmarks, cervical cancer screening is highly cost-effective. Introduction of screening to populations previously unexposed to screening reduces cervical cancer rates by 60% to 90% within 3 years of implementation. The relative costs and benefits of screening will vary depending on the age of patients screened and the screening interval. A study that included patient-time costs estimated that the cost-effectiveness ratio of a conventional Pap smear repeated every three years up to the age of 75 was $11,830 per quality-adjusted life year saved (in year 2000 dollars).

Epidemiology Vol 151, No12 2000 The Cervical Cancer progression must be STOPPED at the CIN 2+ stage The clinical stages of LSIL/ CIN1 are highly subjective for prognoses Nearly 70% LSIL/ CIN1 regress v/s nearly 70% CIN2 progress to Ca Cx Most CIN2+ disease is asymptomatic Most LSIL/ CIN do not show abnormalities on Cytology/ histopathology Most CIN disease requires patients frequent hospital /pathlabs visit

Cost Effectiveness Influencers Ideal Clinical Test performance High Sensitivity (NPV), High Specificity (PPV) High Reproducibility, High Sustainability >> OncoTect combines Cost of current diagnostic approach Increased patient visits, repeated laboratory investigations, greater clinical dilemma on disease prognosis, frustrated patient >> seeks second opinion, lost to follow up Patients loose money, hospitals loose revenue, healthcare inadequacy Reduction in diagnostic cost burden early detection facilitates affordable treatment, HSIL vs Cx Ca ie. reduce incidence (reduce viral burden I e transmission) as well as mortality A more sensitive and specific test will always COST more since it detects more disease but has longer term benefit.. A Win-Win for hospitals and patients
Variability in Test Performance Test A: Sensitivity 75%, Specificity 75% Standard deviation of sensitivity 0.099 Test B: Sensitivity 75%, Specificity 92% Standard deviation of sensitivity 0.025 Marginal incremental cost compared to Test A: 680- only Adding a test that has a high clinical specificity will cut down on the COST of disease management... Lesser referrals to cancer hospitals
Variability Random variability in test characteristics has potentially important economic consequences Tests with less variability have more predictable costs Systematic variability in test characteristics has important consequences for equitable distribution of benefits of screening and disease diagnostics HPV mrna testing likely to be favored over DNA testing owing to higher specificity, quantitative estimation and intact cell characteristics that allows better clinical correlation with cytology and histopathology.

About the Test HPV OncoTect is a screening & diagnostic test for cervical precursor lesions (CIN2+). It identifies the oncogenic activity of HPV in infected cervical cells. This method is widely used in U.S.A, Canada, Asia, South America and Europe A flow cytometry based in situ hybridization test for quantitative detection of CIN2+ Takes advantage of the fact that oncogenic genotypes of HPV over-express E6 and E7 mrna following integration of HPV into genomic DNA. The presence of high levels of HPV E6, E7 mrna indicates that these cells are undergoing the molecular changes of cellular transformation that are the early stages of high grade CIN. Advantages of test as compared to current Diagnosis : Detects active progression towards invasive cancer rather than if women is at risk of getting a lesion. It Increases PPV of cervical cancer screening up to 90 % as compared to HPV DNA alone resulting in to less stress on the patient due to fewer false positives by significantly reduces unnecessary colposcopy or biopsies. Detects lesions earlier because molecular changes occur well before morphological changes.
Additional Revenue Generation to the Hospital We provide tempting margin to the Hospital on test outsourced to us Our technology offers higher specificity as compared to current testing - Regaining of Lost patient by 20 % 20 % more patient to the Hospital for long term follow up Our patient awareness activity to go for Cervical Cancer screening will help to increase 10 % more patients to go for Cervical Cancer diagnosis Considering 1 out of Every 7 women getting affected with Cervical cancer in India Additional diagnosis will provide additional patient to the hospital for treatment
