Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this observational study is to compare cost-effectiveness of robotic surgery with open surgery and video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery (VATS) in adult patients, resident in the ATS of Milan area, operated for lung cancer. The main question it aims to answer is: • Is the robotic surgery cost-effective compared with thoracotomy and VATS in the surgical treatment of operable lung cancers in the adult population of the ATS of Milan? Researchers will compare robotic surgery with open and VAT surgery of operable lung cancer to see if robotic surgery performs better in terms of cost per year of life gained or in terms of cost per quality of life earned.
