Financial Toxicity of Cancer Drugs
Several experts discussed the high cost of cancer drugs on a recent “60
Minutes” segment, including ASH member Hagop Kantarjian, MD,
who co-authored a 2013 paper in Blood that criticized leukemia drug
prices. “Here you have a drug that lets people live their normal life, but,
in order to live normally, they are enslaved by the cost of the drug,”
Dr. Kantarjian said. “[Pharmaceutical companies] are making prices
unreasonable, unsustainable, and – in my opinion – immoral.”
