I can't see why this isn't being initiated already through the VA system or Kaiser Permanente in the US, or the UK's National Health Service, etc.  Yet my own system of Swedish/Providence, which includes dozens of centers in the Western US, isn't leading by example either.   The first system to do this will improve the quality of the care for their patients and dramatically improve patient satisfaction as well. On the other hand, that's just my opinion. I'm interested in yours as well.  GRACE :: News/Info no 5:57 <iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://cancergrace.org/general/?powerpress_embed=2734-podcast&amp;powerpress_player=html5video" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> Please Help GRACE with a Donation for our Annual Appeal Campaign http://cancergrace.org/general/2012/12/12/annual-appeal-2012/ http://cancergrace.org/general/2012/12/12/annual-appeal-2012/#comments Wed, 12 Dec 2012 21:14:53 +0000 Dr West http://cancergrace.org/general/?p=2727

Here's a very brief video I did on a recent interesting news story about a group of physicians at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center who have an expertise in GI oncology and made a institutional policy that they wouldn't use the newly approved drug Zaltrap (ziv-aflibercept) for colon cancer because it is priced at more than twice the already heady price for Avastin (bevacizumab) but offers no clear benefit.  What is interesting is not just that influential oncologists said, "No -- enough is enough! This agent is just not worth its price", but also that this highly publicized decision led the company selling Zaltrap to lower its price. What do you think of this? Is it fair for oncologists to make treatment decisions that include the cost of the drug? Can we manage with a system in which the cost of cancer drugs can double every few years because the drug companies might test what society can bear, figuring that people can't say no to a cancer treatment? What role should treating doctors have in the pricing of cancer drugs?

We're going to start doing a different, shorter format of video podcasts, in addition to our slide-based webinars. But rather than write about it, here's a video that introduces the concept.  I'm also doing a series of these for my own institution (Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle, WA), so I'll highlight videos I've done that are going there as well. Here are a few: Should there be an age cap for chemotherapy? Transitioning to molecular oncology Help! My lung cancer is progressing after a great response on a targeted therapy...what now? What's the role of post-operative chemotherapy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer?
