The test costs about $225, and can be done when a bull is born, thus avoiding the $25,000–50,000 cost of raising a bull for five years to see if it sires good milk-producing offspring.
There were no levels of sensitivity and specificity for which stool DNA testing would be cost-effective at its current cost of $350 per test.
Screening with the stool DNA test would be cost-effective at a per-test cost of $40 to $60 for stool DNA testing every 3 years, depending on the simulation model used.
Assuming fecal DNA testing sensitivities of 65% for CRC and 40% for large polyp, and 95% specificity, a screening interval of 2 years and a test cost of USD $195 would be required to make F-DNA comparable with COLO.
The HPV DNA testing every five years is a cost-effective strategy (Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio (ICER): USD$44/YLS) if the cost per test is under USD$31.
If a DNA test were used instead of liver biopsy, the cost would be reduced to an estimated US$3954-US$4410 per case.
The fecal DNA test exhibited higher sensitivity than FIT but its current cost is high for a screening assay.
For family testing of siblings the DNA strategy is not cost saving because of the costs of the DNA test (additional cost per case detected 200 pounds).
If the cost of the test were to reduce from 100 pounds to 60 pounds, the DNA strategy would be the cheaper one.
Integrating this DNA-detection scheme into a potentially low-cost diagnostic test is a very promising alternative to current diagnostic tests in both high-resource and resource-limited settings.
