Evaluation of treatment protocols based on the ESMO-magnitude of clinical benefit scale for gastrointestinal system cancers and their relationship with reimbursement policies in Turkey
Background
Gastrointestinal system (GIS) cancers are a major global health challenge, with access to innovative therapies limited in resource-constrained settings. This study evaluates GIS cancer treatments in Turkey using the European Society for Medical Oncology Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale (ESMO-MCBS) and examines their reimbursement status.
Methods
Seventy-four treatment protocols were assessed using ESMO-MCBS, focusing on survival and quality-of-life benefits. Cost analyses of non-reimbursed protocols were conducted using the RxMedia Pharma 2024 database for a 70 kg patient.
Results
Only 31 % of the protocols were reimbursed, with nearly all curative regimens covered. In contrast, most metastatic treatments were non-reimbursed, despite significant clinical benefits. Non-reimbursed protocols with ESMO-MCBS scores ≥ 4 had 3-month costs ranging from $1000 to $10,000.
Conclusion
High-value therapies for GIS cancers remain largely inaccessible due to financial barriers. Incorporating ESMO-MCBS scores into reimbursement policies could improve access to effective treatments and align healthcare spending with clinical outcomes.
