Abstract

The article reports on the projected increase in medical expenses of U.S. cancer patients to more than 173 billion U.S. dollars by year 2020. It examines the contribution of treatment duration and prices of anticancer drugs that limit the number of people with access to health benefits. It explores a challenge to oncologists to help reduce the cost of medical expenses through choice of drugs, type of support therapy and limitations of imaging procedures and hospitalizations.
