Access to oral cancer drugs in🇨🇦is inconsistent across provinces, and Atlantic Canada often last. So good news today: osimertinib for EGFR+ NSCLC approved in 1st + 2nd line in Newfoundland/Labrador https://t.co/3zRxKi6fQh (#29) @reneelester16 @LungCancer_Can #IDeserveToLive

[Paul Wheatley-Price @pwheatleyprice]

Good news today for patients with squamous NSCLC. @CADTH_ACMTS has reversed it's initial decision after input from @LungCancer_Can and others. Now pembrolizumab and chemo IS RECOMMENDED as 1L treatment! https://t.co/VsYSYRb5LS. Advocacy works. #IDeserveToLive #HopeUnites

There shouldn’t be a difference in the treatments that are reimbursed based on what province you live in.

[CanCertainty @CanCertainty]

From @CurrentOncology: "If the drug has been approved for funding in one province but not the other, one patient will receive it for free, while the other patient might have to remortgage their residence" https://t.co/unASLSx4Qr #CancerCannotWait

[Normand Blais, MD @NormandBlais]

AMG 510 appears to be specific for mutated Kras with no/little apparent off target toxicity and more than 50% RR. The excitement continues! @iaslc #WCLC19 #LCSM
