Abstract

Arguably, the most common structure currently adopted for oncology modelling is the three-state partitioned survival model with the following states: stable disease, post-progression and dead. This design can, therefore, be adopted to capture the progressive nature of cancer. This chapter outlines the three-state model approach as well as introducing several other key aspects of economic modelling in oncology.
