Completely false straw man post.

1. Most of the data cited stops around 2010, ignoring the huge progress that checkpoint inhibitors and cell therapies have made in many cancers.

2. Mixed up issues of treatment progress and treatment access. Treatment progress is a fact, but can be missed if patients don’t have access.

Access in the US is essentially a political issue - states with Medicaid expansion, for example, have better overall access than those that don’t. Also, in general, changing Medical practice is slow, even once a therapy is approved.

The narrative that we have only poor treatment options that don’t advance misses the true progress that has been made, and let’s those responsible, ie insurance companies and politicians off the hook.
