A Mathematical Model for The Treatment Cost Estimation of Breast Cancer with Cardiotoxicity

Breast cancer is a prevalent and potentially lifethreatening
disease that requires comprehensive treatment
strategies to improve patient outcomes. Cardiotoxicity poses a
significant challenge in breast cancer treatment, as it can lead to
severe cardiac complications during or after chemotherapy. In
this paper, the study presents a stochastic model for estimating
breast cancer treatment costs, considering the risk and cost
associated with cardiotoxicity. The findings reveal that an
increased number of new patients and a higher chance of breast
cancer patients experiencing cardiotoxicity increase the total
cost of treating all breast cancer patients
