aBased on hypothetical resources used according to the characteristics and disease of the patients from the RRePS network (2010) and using national and international guidelines. Due to budgetary constraints, the costs of disease management for patients with a concordant diagnosis were estimated from the final diagnosis of the patients with a discordant diagnosis, whose sample size was smaller than the concordant cases.

bCost of RRePS network organization (€102 per patient) and Histological review (€228 per patient) included.
