The study aims to evaluate advanced renal cancer disease in the context of health economics and to investigate the resource-use related to the disease with the payer institution perspective. The study is descriptive and cross-sectional, and population consists of 2,611 patients. The data falls into the categories of service, medicine and material. Analyzes are done using the data of all patients. R program is utilized to discover and visualize the data. According to the findings, 52.7% of the patients (1,376 patients) underwent nephrectomy operation. Services, drugs, and materials are used extensively in the disease. Although services and materials are used extensively, the costs of these resources are partially reimbursed, whereas almost all costs related to drugs are reimbursed. Therefore, the drugs have a challenging burden on the institution. On the other hand, the amount paid for the resources used in providing services has gradually increased. This trend suggests that the burden on the institution’s budget is high and it may gradually increase. The study points to the finding that the treatment of the disease has a drug-intensive character. This finding, in return, makes it necessary to measure the health outcomes brought about by chemotherapy drugs.
