Study on The Cost of Cancer Care
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
>> So in 2010,
the estimate costs
of cancer care are going
to be 125 billion dollars.
And if we assume no changes
in costs and incidents
and survival trends,
the estimates are going
to be 158 billion dollars,
which represents a 27 percent
increase in the cost
of cancer care.
And it's important to notice
that this increase reflects only
the aging and growth
of the U.S. population.
And if trends in incidents
and survival and costs continue
as observed today,
the cost can be as high
as 207 billion,
a 66 percent increase in costs.
