Management strategies and cost effectiveness in the prevention of cervical cancer.

This paper introduces the burden of cervical cancer and the primary and secondary preventative interventions currently available, and provides an overview of the bivalent and quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines. A brief account of the virology and the clinical efficacy of both is given. Examinations of the two main types of cost analyses, cost-effective and cost-benefit, as well as examples, are presented in addition to the possible impact these analyses and further economic models will have on budget and policy making decisions.

Cost-benefit analysis on the HPV vaccine in Medicaid-enrolled females of the Appalachian region of Kentucky.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the cost-efficiency of vaccinating against Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in Medicaid enrolled females of the Appalachian region of Kentucky (n = 49,411 females) aged 12 to 25 years, versus paying for the treatment of cervical cancer cases (n = 643 cases) within this population later in life.

Methods: In order to determine the cost of vaccination and cervical cancer treatment, the use of data acquired from the Kentucky Department of Medicaid Services (DMS) and Kentucky Cancer Registry (KCR) was necessary.

Results: Relative Risk of Appalachian Kentuckian females developing cervical cancer compared to their non-Appalachian counterparts is 1.
