Abstract
Diarrhea is common with many types of chemotherapy and can have a major impact on maintaining dose intensity and treatment effectiveness, and on overall health care resource consumption. In this study, a cost of illness analysis was conducted to estimate the overall economic impact of grade III/IV diarrhea in patients with colorectal cancer receiving adjuvant or palliative chemotherapy.
