To evaluate, from a US payer perspective, the cost-effectiveness of treatment strategies for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). We performed a systematic review of published cost-effectiveness analyses of treatment strategies for mCRC with pre-specified search criteria. We identified 14 papers that fulfilled our search criteria and revealed varying levels of value amongst current treatment strategies. Older agents such as 5FU, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin provide high value treatments. More modern agents targeting the EGFR or VEGF pathways, such as bevacizumab, cetuximab and panitumumab do not appear to be cost effective treatments at their current costs. The analytical methods used within the papers varied widely, and likely plays a significant role in the heterogeneity in incremental cost effectiveness ratios. The cost-effectiveness of current treatment strategies for mCRC is highly variable. Drugs recently approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for mCRC are not cost-effective, and this is primarily driven by high drug costs.
