Description
Abdullah Althemery, writing alone, presents a 2025 study on the rising cost of cancer drugs in the United States. The study compares national spending on these drugs in 2010 and 2021, one of the few such comparisons over that span. It also asks how patients' own payments relate to their quality of life.
Data came from a national survey of medical spending, with drug use sorted by a standard coding system. Old costs were adjusted to 2021 terms for a fair comparison. Cancer diagnoses rose by about a fifth over the decade, and the count of patients on these drugs rose as well. Spending climbed steeply across the period.
