Abstract

Objects: Targeted therapy in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer will prolong the patient's life longer than chemotherapy option, but its cost is higher. Therefore, in this study, we will find evidences on the cost-effectiveness of targeted therapy compared with chemotherapy method to provide recommendations in choosing the appropriate treatment. Methods: Conducting a systematic literature review on cost-effectiveness, QALYs,... based on Pubmed, Embase and Cochrane database,... from 2000 to August 2021. Studies used the CHEERS checklist. Results: Six out of 128 results having the full criterions were suitable for the CHEERS checklist and were included in the study. The ICERs of erlotinib, afatinib and osimertinib were $85927.4/QALY, $20758–33416.39/QALY, and $23760.1–51615.1/QALY respectively compared to other chemotherapy treatment options. Conclusion: Erlotinib and afatinib for first-line treatment and osimertinib for second-line treatment options are more cost-effective than chemotherapy methods. Reducing the price of targeted drugs lower than the payment threshold of each country will play a vital value for non-small cell lung cancer patients to have access and the economic outcome could become more favorable.
