An annual supply of Glivec (sold in the U.S. as Gleevec) wholesales for $76,740, much more than it cost a decade ago. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) A group of more than 120 cancer researchers and physicians took the unusual step this week of publishing a research paper taking aim at pharmaceutical prices they see as exorbitant and unjustifiable. Drug companies are profiteering, the doctors say, by charging whatever the market will bear for medications that patients literally can't live without. The paper, published online in the American Society of Hematology's medical journal Blood, analyzes and criticizes the cost of drugs used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a rare type of cancer that responds very well to drug therapy. The 10-year survival rate for CML patients now tops 80% for those who receive targeted drugs -- but the annual price tag for the treatment is usually in the six-figure range. Those prices bear little relation to what the drugs actually cost to develop and produce, the doctors say. As an example, they zero in on the case of imatinib, a drug sold by Novartis (NVS) as Gleevec (in the U.S.) or Glivec (in most international markets). Gleevec is the kind of … Continue reading →

(CBS News) Treating cancer is expensive. On Thursday, some of the world's top cancer specialists took an extraordinary step on behalf of their patients. They demanded that drug companies roll back their prices. Cody Anderson says he has a co-pay of $5,000 a month for bills associated with treating a form of leukemia called CML. "I was not on their approved list," said Anderson. "And so, they said they would only pay 50 percent of that. That left me with a $5,000-a-month co-pay," he said." Medicare chemo patients are feeling sequester's sting Dementia costs U.S. up to $215 billion per year, study finds Big Pharma loses key ruling over cancer drug patent The unprecedented attack on drug prices comes from more than 100 oncologists. They say the prices for cancer drugs are "unsustainable" and may be harming patients. "Today, most of the FDA-approved drugs come at the price of over $100,000," said Dr. Hagop Kantajarian of MD Anderson Cancer Center, the principal author of the commentary, "which makes it almost impossible for patients to afford them." One of the drugs Anderson took was Gleevec, made by Novartis. Until Gleevac was introduced in 2001, there was no highly effective drug for … Continue reading →

Did Bieber's bus get busted? Reports surfaced Thursday in Swedish newspapers that Justin Bieber's tour bus was searched by police Wednesday night and turned up a small amount of marijuana and a stun gun. Lars Bystrom, press officer of the Stockholm police department, confirmed to Us Weekly that the 19-year-old singer's bus was, in fact, searched Wednesday. PHOTOS: Celebrities with Bieber fever "It was an on duty police officer at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm, where Bieber was staying, who first smelled the scent of marijuana or hashish coming from the bus, just as the door of the bus slammed. There were approximately 10 people on board at the time. At that time the bus left for the Globe Arena, which is where Justin was due to perform," Bystrom said. "The officer contacted our narcotics unit to gain a warrant to check the bus at the Globe's garage. Police and sniffer dogs obtained a warrant to search the bus. During the raid they found a small amount of undetermined drugs and a stun gun, which would require license in Sweden."

Drugs and a stun gun have been found on board Justin Bieber's tour bus, according to Swedish police. Police spokesman Varg Jyllander told Sky News an officer on crowd duty smelled marijuana from the vehicle. It had been parked outside the Stockholm hotel where the pop star was staying just before his concert in the capital on Wednesday night. Mr Jyllander said drugs police were alerted and followed the bus to the venue before searching the empty vehicle after around 10 passengers - including Bieber - had entered the arena. He explained: "They found a small amount of drugs and a stun gun. "Now the drugs are (being) sent over to the forensics lab, and before we have the analysis results we won't (comment further). It was a short search for around half an hour. "There is no suspect at the moment. The crew left and took the bus, but the investigation is still going on. "It was a small stun gun and in this country you need a permit to carry one or have one - and they hadn't." He said testing the drugs was "not a high priority" and it could be some days before the results are … Continue reading →
