Total cost without recurrence is the sum of (1) the cost of all diagnostic tests given regularly or always, (2) the final cost of the diagnostic method, (3) the cost of first-line treatment, and (4) the cost of follow-up via simple observation (see Supplementary Table S1). Simple observation had a range of costs, resulting in a range of estimated total costs. For total cost with recurrence, the cost of another round of treatment and follow-up was added to the initial cost estimate
