Two different chemotherapy regimens can be used for the treatment of breast cancer. The treatment with doxorubicin is known to show a remission rate 40% of the time. This treatment costs $1,000. The other treatment, with docetaxel, shows a remission rate 25% of the time and costs $850. The two treatment plans are as follows: Plan A: Treatment with doxorubicin—if not effective, treatment with docetaxel. Plan B: Treatment with docetaxel—if not effective, treatment with doxorubicin. If you are the patient, which statement is the best choice?


A. Based on the probability of the remission rate plan A should be selected over plan B.
B. Based on the probability of the remission rate plan B should be selected over plan A
C. Based on the first treatment cost alone plan A should be selected over plan B.
D. Based on the overall treatment cost plan B should be selected over plan A.
E. Based on the probability of survival rate and the cost of treatment, both plans are equivalent, so either can be selected.
