Case Study: Breast Cancer Surveillance
In order to illustrate the implementation of a discrete event simulation (DES)
for a real health technology assessment (HTA), a case study is presented. This
case study describes the development and analysis of a DES of alternative
options for the use of mammography to monitor women following the diag-
nosis and treatment of early breast cancer(Bessen and Karnon 2014). The aim
of this monitoring or surveillance is to detect recurrent localized cancer at an
early stage and, thus, enable treatment of the recurrent cancer with theaim
of preventing further disease progression. Currently, it is recommended ...
