Estimating health benefits and cost-savings for achieving the Healthy People 2020 objective of reducing invasive colorectal cancer.
This study aims to quantify the aggregate potential life-years (LYs) saved and healthcare cost-savings if the Healthy People 2020 objective were met to reduce invasive colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence by 15 percent. It concluded that achieving the HP2020 objective of reducing invasive CRC incidence by that amount by year 2020 would potentially save nearly 150,000 life-years and $624 million on healthcare costs.
