Kash Sarabi: Reflecting on the Painful Journey of Cancer Treatment and the Need for Change in Approval Processes

Kash Sarabi, general medical practice specialist in Tarzana, shared a post on X:

“Father: what does it mean to fail (before she can get the Anktiva)? DR. Patrick Soon-Shiong: sad sigh..It’s a painful statement. She has to get a progression! I don’t know how else to say this without being pained by that. As a parent—try to grasp what it feels like to hear your little girl is in remission from Osteosarcoma, but has just a 70% chance. That’s a case without metastasis.

Then you hear from Dr Shiong Anktiva will help—yet her painful bone cancer must first worsen before she can be approved, due to the current regulatory process.”
