Dr Michael Seiden says that at some point the US is going to have to ration care. @double_whammied asks does he mean rationing care for patients or rationing of profiteering by companies. Yes Diane!!! #SCHD18

Whenever you complain about our cancer care in America, look at this graphic and be grateful for what we have. We have to work together globally to address such inequities. Heading to #SCHD18 to learn ways to make a difference here and abroad

.@binayshah: why did Gleevec cost $3000 when it was approved in 2093 but costs $15000 now? Yes, #BigPharma, why??? #SCHD18

Dr Edith Mitchell of @KimmelCancerCtr speaking about urban vs rural disparities. As someone in a town w/o an oncologist, I can attest to this. #bcsm #SCHD18

How has Medicare played a role in disparities? It was the major force in desegregation of medical facilities, because no federal funds unless facility adhered to civil rights act . #bcsm #SCHD18

Research was stimulated by the National Cancer Act of 1971, and may be one factor in declining death rates #SCHD18 #bcsm

Disparities depending on where you live. Rural patients don't do as well as their urban counterparts. #bcsm #SCHD18

As a former gynecologist I cannot get over the rates of cervical cancer in parts of Chicago. Not to mention the increased death rates from breast, prostate, colorectal cancers compared to national rates. #SCHD18

Dr Dinesh Pendharkar: we have been talking about these same issues for 35 years. Need to come up with a different model. #SCHD18
November 19, 2024 at 1:14 AM
Dr. Pendharkar talking about essential medicines, which must be tailored to needs of each country, but once declared essential must be available to everyone in country. #SCHD18
November 19, 2024 at 1:14 AM
And essential medicines aren't just for cancer, but for all the health needs of a country AND the country must be able to pay for it.
I say less military spending may allow for more medical spending #SCHD18
November 19, 2024 at 1:14 AM
Dr Pendharkar feels, as we did with HIV/AIDS, we must create a global cancer fund. #SCHD18
