Why is cancer treatment so expensive?

1 Expert Answer

Jorge Cortes, MD

Director, Georgia Cancer Center,  Augusta University

"The biggest reason that cancer treatment becomes so expensive for most people is because they wait to seek treatment and do not practice prevention. It costs far more money to keep someone alive for six months at a time using drug therapy because the cancer was not detected in time."
