Quote	"Yes, developing more effective, less toxic treatments is expensive. The prices of new cancer therapies reflect the billion-dollar cost of developing each new drug. But such treatments can be life-saving, as they have been for me. Despite its warts, our system works. Carelessly tinkering with it will have a world-wide penalty—the stifling of new drug development."
