Abstract

Markov modeling was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of octreotide in treating carcinoid syndrome and VIPoma. For each condition, using octreotide was associated with doubled survival time. Octreotide was cost-effective for treating carcinoid tumor ($752 per additional year of life, two additional years on average), and cost saving for VIPoma.
