Dr. Corey Langer from Abramson Cancer Center on Cost Analysis in the Treatment Decision

Corey J. Langer, MD, Professor of Medicine, Director, Thoracic Oncology, Abramson Cancer Center, University of Pennsylvania, explains that as a clinician he does not use cost as a decision factor. The care of the patient and their quality-of-life takes priority over the cost efficacy of a drug. The cost analysis should not be a determining factor for which therapeutic agent to give.
