Danai Ktena: Assessing the Impact of Anti-PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors on Cancer Care in Greece

Danai Ktena, Health Policy Manager at MSD Greece, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Just released in the Journal of Cancer Policy, our article that presents the differences between a world in which cancer patients across 7 indications are treated with anti-PD (L)1 inhibitors, versus a world where they receive previous standard-of-care (SoC).

Over a 5-year horizon, results of the HIP model indicated that anti-PD-(L)1s’ introduction in Greece is associated with significant health benefits that can be achieved at a manageable economic impact, making investment in immunooncology and sustainable patient access key aspects in elevating cancer care.

On a personal note, as this article is a collaborative result, I would like to thank Alexander Roediger, Evie Dalakaki, Sherneca Clarke-Melville, Ioannis Dimitriadis, Kostas Athanasakis, Panagiota Naoum, Robert Hughes, and Grace Mountain, for their support and contribution!”
