Microsimulation Model in Cancer of the Bowel (MiMiC-Bowel) is an individual patient simulation model built in the R programming language, which has been designed to enable comparison of the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and resource use of different personalised screening and surveillance strategies for colorectal cancer (CRC). The model simulates the life course of patients representing the population of England, who each have a set of individual characteristics which determines their cancer risk and response to screening and surveillance. The model has a lifetime horizon and takes an NHS perspective.
