Abstract excerpt
Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapy drug in the treatment of pediatric solid tumors, but it is associated with significant rates of ototoxicity (medication-induced hearing loss). A genetic test has recently been developed that can help predict the likelihood that a cisplatin-treated pediatric patient will develop ototoxicity. This study estimates the potential economic impact of this test. Assuming that an...
