The rising costs of cancer care with the introduction of new agents are a challenge. The impact of these costs differs among countries. We compare costs for metastatic prostate cancer, with prices normalized to international dollars, as an example that highlights the need for cost-effectiveness analyses in trials and treatment guidelines.
