Title: An Introduction to the Cancer Risk Management Model (CRMM)

Authors: Bill Flanagan, Keiko Asakawa, Claude Nadeau, Cindy Gauvreau, Saima Memon

Abstract:
The Canadian Partnership Against Cancer in collaboration with Statistics Canada have developed the Cancer Risk Management Model (CRMM) to provide a comprehensive, web-based, decision-support tool that projects population-based health and economic impacts of alternative cancer control programs in Canada.
During this webinar, we will provide an overview of CRMM including types of cancers and control strategies currently modeled, applications of CRMM undertaken to inform the cancer community, and products available.  A brief description of the modeling approach (microsimulation) and model assessment will be given. Model features and outcomes will be illustrated through a short case study on the clinical and economic analysis of cervical screening and vaccination for human papillomavirus. Finally, information on how to access the model over the web will be provided.
