About
Virginia Becerra’s research centers on health economics and outcomes research, with a particular focus on the economic evaluation of cancer treatments. Her major contribution lies in synthesizing evidence to inform cost-effective healthcare decisions, especially in oncology. Her most-cited work, a 2016 systematic review on the economic evaluation of treatments for localized prostate cancer in Europe, has garnered 29 citations. This study critically assessed the efficiency of various treatment modalities by systematically reviewing European economic evaluations published between 2000 and 2015, drawing from databases such as MEDLINE, EMBASE, and NHS EED. By highlighting gaps in the literature and methodological challenges, Becerra’s work provides a foundational resource for policymakers and clinicians seeking to balance clinical outcomes with economic constraints. Her research underscores the importance of rigorous evidence synthesis in guiding resource allocation for cancer care, making her a valuable voice in the field of health technology assessment.
