Description
Durjoy Lahiri argues in a 2026 letter for a fast-track path to disease-modifying treatment in early Alzheimer's disease. The letter replies to a commentary on strain in Canadian brain health care. Critics called the new amyloid-targeting drugs a niche fix for a tiny share of patients. Lahiri disputes the math behind that claim.
The low share counts all comers to a memory clinic, Lahiri notes. Among true early-stage patients without safety blocks, the share climbs to near one in five. Slow expert checks also push some patients past the window before they are seen. The letter draws a likeness to stroke clot-busting care, which also serves a small share yet reshaped the system.
