WHYY Radio discusses high cost of chemo
As a researcher and strategist in oncology, I’m always excited to hear topics that I discuss every day come up on the news for public discussion. Last night was one example when I heard this fantastic segment on WHYY radio as part of the Radio Times program about the high cost of chemotherapy drugs. (Audio file here.)
Guests on the show were Dr. Neal Meropol, a gastrointestinal (GI) specialty oncologist from Fox Chase Cancer Center and Dr. Art Caplan, a bio-ethicist at U. Penn. They had a bunch of interesting things to say about how society is responding and how health care systems are adapting to the high cost of drugs, especially now that some chemotherapy regimens cost more than $100,000 per year.
