Abbreviations: ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; FIT, fecal immunochemical test; LB, liquid biopsy; LYG, life-years gained.
ICER is calculated relative to the next least costly, nondominated strategy.
Total cancer and deaths due to cancer represent cancer incidence and mortality of the entire population.
Extendedly dominated indicates that the strategy resulted in fewer LYG at a higher cost per life-year gained compared with another strategy.
Strictly dominated indicates that the strategy resulted in higher costs and fewer LYG compared with another strategy.
