Cancer cost "becoming unsustainable" in rich nations
STOCKHOLM
(Reuters) - An explosion of new technologies and treatments for cancer
coupled with a rapid rise in cases of the disease worldwide mean cancer
care is rapidly becoming unaffordable in many developed countries,
oncology experts said on Monday. With costs ballooning, a radical shift
in thinking is needed to ensure fairer access to medicines and address
tricky questions like balancing extra months of life for patients
against costs of a new drug, technology or care plan, they said.
