Institutional treatment algorithms can be used to estimate the average treatment costs per patient, which are, however, highly sensitive to probability changes of individual decision criteria. Our study demonstrates a high variability in treatment costs for recurrent GBM among eight Swiss neuro-oncology centres based on individual institutional treatment algorithms.
