Fig 2. Results of one-way sensitivity analysis.

(A) Rare cancer base-case. (B) Non-rare cancer base-case. Abbreviations: PCE, pericardial effusion; PE, prepupal effusion; 3D-CRT, three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy. Ten variables with large incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) changes from the base case values are shown. The ICERs were all > \7,500,000/QALY in the rare cancer base-case, and eight items in the non-rare cancer base-case were > \7,500,000/QALY.
