目标.比较在同一个机构进行经直肠超声引导近距离放射治疗（USBT）和根治性直肠切除术（RP）的成本和费用。从1998年2月至1999年3月，连续66例患者接受了临床局限性前列腺癌的潜在治愈性治疗。37例采用钯-103近距离放射治疗的USBT治疗，29例采用RP治疗。在RP或USBT前1个月开始的2个月内获得住院费用和收费以及专业费用，并比较两种程序。USBT（26，320美元）和RID（22，660美元）的平均总费用没有显著差异。与RP相比，USBT的手术室时间成本显著降低（USBT为628美元，RP为2093美元，P
Objectives. To compare the costs and charges incurred for transrectal ultrasound-guided brachytherapy (USBT) and radical prostatectomy (RP) at a single institution.Methods. From February 1998 to March 1999, 66 consecutive patients underwent potentially curative therapy for clinically localized prostate cancer. Thirty-seven were treated by USBT using palladium-103 brachytherapy and 29 by RP. Hospital costs and charges and professional fees were obtained for a 2-month period beginning I month before RP or USBT and compared between the two procedures.Results. The mean total charges for USBT ($26,320) and RID ($22,660) were not significantly different. Compared with RP, USBT incurred significantly lower operating room time cost ($628 for USBT versus $2093 for RP, P
