> "There's this myth that treating cancer is expensive," ... "And that's because the data is almost all from high-income countries..." > Much of the savings, the authors report, comes from the low cost of labor, which for the entire cancer center amounted to less than the average annual salary for one oncologist in the United States. It's interesting because I too have been guilty of seeing a price in dollars and not adjusting for the fact that amount may have vastly different spending power even within the United States (and thus, less needed for the same services where there is greater spending power).
