Bishal Gyawali: Want to get your mind blown about how insane cancer drug prices have become?
Bishal Gyawali, Medical Oncologist and Assistant Professor at Queen’s University, shared on X:
“Want to get your mind blown about how insane cancer drug prices have become?
Go check the price for capivasertib.
It costs… wait for it…
More than 350,000 USD per year!
One year of capivasertib and the median price of a house in US is the same.
And some people think raising voice against cancer drug prices is anti innovation.
They will always complain against the payers but they will never complain that industry prices them so damn expensive that it breaks down all cost effectiveness thresholds and equations.
Todd C. Lee was right- if companies paid half of the cancer drug prices to patients, QOL would certainly improve.”
