Authors' objectives

To provide an overview of the value of counselling services for women with breast cancer.

Authors' conclusions

There is good evidence from trials that counselling helps women with breast cancer in terms of psychological adjustment in the months after diagnosis. The Committee noted that it was not currently possible to model the value for money of this in terms of cost per QALY. In addition, it was not possible to be prescriptive about precisely how the service should be provided, by whom, or in what setting.
