The estimates of the <strong>in</strong>cremental cost per additional CRC detected of the<br />

Hemoccult II Sensa and the HemeSelect, as compared to the Hemoccult II, are<br />

presented <strong>in</strong> Table 36. The <strong>in</strong>cremental cost per CRC detected is lower for the<br />

Hemoccult II Sensa than for the HemeSelect test. The <strong>in</strong>cremental cost of the<br />

Hemoccult II Sensa relative to the Hemoccult II is 32.363 per additional CRC<br />

detected. For HemeSelect, the <strong>in</strong>cremental cost per CRC detected is 36.564 .<br />

This means that the Hemoccult II Sensa is expected to be more cost-effective<br />

<strong>in</strong> terms of cost per CRC detected- than the HemeSelect, relative to the<br />

classical Hemoccult II and at considered prices. Note that the <strong>in</strong>cremental<br />

number of CRC detected is not significantly different from 0 for HemeSelect.<br />

This means that there is still considerable uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty if HemeSelect will lead to<br />

more CRC cases detected than Hemoccult II.<br />

From this analysis it is not possible to conclude whether Hemoccult II or<br />

Hemoccult II Sensa is the most cost-effective test for mass screen<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the<br />

target population. Such conclusion would require an estimate of the costs and<br />

outcomes of the current situation <strong>with</strong>out mass screen<strong>in</strong>g and the outcomes<br />

<strong>in</strong> terms of number of life years ga<strong>in</strong>ed- <strong>with</strong> mass screen<strong>in</strong>g. The estimation of<br />

the costs of CRC diagnosis <strong>with</strong>out screen<strong>in</strong>g is hampered by the fact that the<br />

number of people undergo<strong>in</strong>g colonoscopy for the detection of CRC after a<br />

true or false positive FOBT cannot be derived from the national databases.<br />

Given the importance of this <strong>in</strong>formation for the cost-effectiveness estimate, as
