Short Title: OxPOS Health Economics

Title: Oxford Precision Oncology for Sarcoma (OxPOS) Health Economics Project

Summary: Health economics is important for medical research. By comparing the health benefits and costs of medical treatments, diagnostic tools, and ways of organising care, economists provide evidence to guide better ways of spending the NHS budget.

Sarcoma patients could benefit from innovations like more accurate and comprehensive diagnostic tests and digital tools that help doctors access and interpret patient records. These innovations, currently being tested as part of the Oxford Precision Oncology for Sarcoma study, have the potential to improve the quality of care patients receive and reduce healthcare costs.

The health economics project within this study aims to provide the NHS with data to decide if these innovations are worth adopting.
