A system and method for providing cost-benefit analysis for treatment of a
chronic disease such as cancer. The system enables a user to provide
input parameters related to a patient, and performs statistical and
computational analysis of case histories of other patients and
retrospective data related to one or more disease treatment protocols to
generate a set of output parameters (potential outcome of the treatment
protocols) along with their statistical significance and probability. In
addition, the system estimates the cost associated with the treatment
protocols using cost related information available for tests, procedures,
surgeries, etc., to be performed in a treatment protocol. The average
cost and the set of output parameters are displayed to the user which
helps in performing the cost-benefit analysis.
