Cancer Physicians Attack High Drug Costs
With the cost of some lifesaving cancer drugs exceeding $100,000 a
year, more than 100 influential cancer specialists from around the
world have taken the unusual step of banding together in hopes of
persuading some leading pharmaceutical companies to bring prices down.

Skin Cancer Linked to Higher Risk of Other Cancers
There’s another reason for those at risk of skin cancer to stay
vigilant about protecting their health. Men and women with a history
of non-melanoma skin cancer are at a higher risk of developing breast
and lung cancers in addition to melanoma, compared to people without a
skin cancer history

exposed
Medical advance means more people diagnosed with cancer are surviving
for longer, according to new figures from the Office for National
Statistics (ONS), but relatively few people have any financial
protection in place against the risk of living with reduced earning
power.

Les centres d'essais cliniques précoces contre le cancer
Comme tous les médicaments, les traitements contre le cancer doivent
être évalués avoir de recevoir leur autorisation de mise sur le
marché. Mais très souvent le temps presse pour les patients qui
souhaitent bénéficier des techniques les plus avancées. C'est ainsi
que sont nés les centres d'essais cliniques précoces.

Traitements ciblés contre le cancer: l'eldorado risqué des grands
labos
Proposer à des millions de patients des "traitements ciblés" en
fonction de mutations génétiques retrouvées dans leur cancer, est
devenu l'axe essentiel de la recherche pour les grands laboratoires,
pari qui n'est pas sans risque vu le temps et les sommes colossales
investis.
