"Provenge... is the latest in a series of new, high-priced cancer treatments that appear to eke out only a few more months of life, prompting alarm about their costs. Provenge appears able to extend patients’ lives by about four months."
Prostate cancer strikes 192,000 men in the United States each year. At $93,000 per treatment, this could cost as much as $17BILLION. Is this a good way to spend health care dollars?
