Biologic drugs play an important role in treating cancers such as breast cancer and lymphoma, but their high costs can add to the financial burden of cancer care. Now, lower-cost versions known as biosimilars are gaining ground, and a study led by researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center suggests their growing use is associated with lower costs for both insurers and patients.
Artificial intelligence may help radiologists identify subtle signs of breast cancers that are missed during routine mammograms—and some AI systems may even identify patterns associated with an increased risk of cancer before it becomes visible on a mammogram—but there are still many significant limitations, according to a review led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
