Just saw Dr Marc Siegel on Fox Business News state that this treatment is seeing a 50% success rate.

The high price of the drugs, called CAR-Ts, may set off a debate about the bioethical implications of making life-saving pharmaceuticals unaffordable.

Aw heck, I seem to remember that AZT and the anti-AIDS regimen was inthe hundreds of thousands back in the '90s. The price came down later. If the alternative to the high costs are no development at all, there's no issue. Nowm, if grant money was used to do the developing, that might call for different outcome.

Just imagine what health insurance premiums will have to be to cover that.

"Debate"?

Only among the ignorami. The rest of us know that "expensive" is better than "nonexistent", that prices come down in time, and that research costs lots of money.

I have a friend who had a recurrence of lymphoma a year ago. He had tumors in his throat that were affecting his swallowing and speech. He was also told the normal treatment for a second round would kill him, as he is 80.

He was part of a trial .... and was told he might not be able to finish as approval was pending. He finished the trial and is now in remission. The tumors are completely gone and he had very little side effects. I don’t know if this is the same medication or not. All I know is he is still alive, cancer free and blessed.
