Increasing Cost of the Prostate Cancer Drugs

There are many new drugs that have increased the life expectancy of prostate cancer patients and have been approved by the Food & Drug Administration. But these drugs are having a high cost, which is a threat for the patients and the insurers, both. These expensive drugs are not being paid by the insurance companies and the reimbursement level for them is very low. Hence, only few people are capable of affording these drugs. Therefore, because of this high cost, the use of generic drugs is more, and hence, it is hindering the growth of the prostate cancer drugs market.
The other factors include, low success rate of clinical trials and side effects of the treatments.
