New approaches are being developed to early detect endometrial cancer (EC) using molecular testing. Mathematical models are commonly used in these situations with the aim of predicting future benefits and costs of novel interventions.
A Markov model was developed to simulate a cohort of women with postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) to assess a new molecular testing strategy in relation to the current practice. For each strategy, the model predicts the life expectancy, QALYs, number of hysterectomies, EC prevalence, incidence, mortality and lifetime costs. The strategies were compared using the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted to determine the robustness of the results.
The model shows that the introduction of molecular testing to diagnose EC in PMB women has the potential to be cost-effective. This study provides decision-makers with useful information to guide decisions about health resource allocation.

Visit Alhambra
Tomorrow, Thursday, we will visit the Alhambra. 1. At 7:00 p.m., buses will start leaving from the door of the Hotel Granada Center (in front of the door of the Faculty of Sciences) 2. Upon arrival, groups with guides will be organized. 3. There will be groups in English language. These groups will wait at the destination until the arrival of all buses. 4. After the visit to the Alhambra we will walk to the Carmen de los Mártires to have a cocktail. 5. On the way back, we can go back by bus, which will leave from the same place where they left us at the Alhambra. 6. Although the way to the Alhambra by bus seems long, it really is close to the city. We invite you, whoever wishes, to go down for a pleasant walk. 7. Do not forget to take your Alhambra ticket and your identity card or passport. The document must be the same whose number matches the ticket number you have.
