Cancer drug shortage eases slightly, but it’s still ‘living from paycheck to paycheck’
5 October 2023 - The shortage of cancer drugs is not going away, but it may be easing slightly, a new national survey suggests.
Based on questions posed to 29 of its 33 member hospitals, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network said Thursday that 86% of those cancer centres are experiencing a shortage of at least one type of generic chemotherapy drug, down from 90% in May.
