This month’s journal-based CME article is titled "Comparison of Drug-Eluting Embolics versus Conventional Transarterial Chemoembolization: A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis".
In this article, the authors conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) comparing health and financial implications in patients treated for intermediate stage nonresectable hepatocellular carcinoma, treated with drug-eluting embolic (DEE) vs conventional (c) transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).
To receive CME credit for this journal-based CME activity, participants must read the journal article and score 75% or better on the post test. Participants will have three opportunities to score 75% or better.
Learning Objectives
After participating in this journal-based CME activity, learners should be able to:
- Determine the cost effectiveness of two types of TACE
- Describe variable that impact cost effectiveness
