SOARING DRUG COSTS

If you think the cost of prescription drugs is too high now, consider what may happen with Avastin, a drug that treats advanced colon cancer and costs more than $4,000 a month. If Avastin receives federal approval for treatment of breast and lung cancer, the cost of the drug for patients with these diseases would double because they would receive twice the dosage of colon cancer patients.
