ICER, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio; QALY, quality-adjusted life years; PFS, progression-free survival; OS, overall survival; CI, confidence interval.

Unit of cost is USD; unit of utility is QALY.

95% confidence intervals of the life-years are not provided, since the input survival rate is fixed.
