LuCOMO

LuCOMO is a research initiative focused on assessing the economic implications of introducing a national lung cancer screening programme in Ireland.

The project has three main objectives:

Estimate Screening Eligibility- Quantify how many people in Ireland would be eligible for lung cancer screening based on criteria such as age and smoking history.

Stage-Specific Costing Study- Determine the cost of treating lung cancer patients at different stages of the disease within the Irish healthcare system (input to CEA model). Systematic review of LCS Cost-Effectiveness- systematic review of published cost-effectiveness analyses for lung cancer screening.

Cost-Effectiveness Modelling- Evaluate whether lung cancer screening is a cost-effective and affordable intervention for Ireland. This includes exploring different implementation scenarios and assessing the potential value for money.
