Future Treatment Needs for Canadians
2010
Overview
Many factors contribute to a patchwork quilt of care nationally, and some refer to a \"postal code lottery\" with respect to access to costly new treatments. Canada does not really have \"a healthcare system,\" but rather 19 systems! While radiation and surgical techniques have been steadily advancing, the primary factors driving longer survivals (and costs) relate to costly new systemic treatments - drugs that fight cancer. Further, while historically these have involved chemotherapy, newer\"targeted treatments,\" which attackspecificsignalling mechanisms within tumour cells (and host arterial cells), are not typical chemotherapeutic agents but rather complex biologica Is and sometimes administered orally. While all cancer drugs are covered out of the B.C. provincial formulary, in most provinces oral therapies must be covered by patients or their private insurers.
