If I understand that the article is claiming a new treatment could cure cancer for $4000, then this is orders of magnitude cheaper than all the combined treatments that are administered now to treat cancer.
- givinguflac 10y agoI agree the manufacturing cost of $4,000 doesn't seem unreasonable, but that's the manufacturing cost. The article also states either of these competing treatments would cost insurers half a million $ or more, so it will be much more expensive than today's treatments. Still worth it, but absurdly expensive especially compared to the manufacturing cost.
- jcoffland 10y agoIf you read a little more carefully, it says the full treatment costs about $50k.
