Dangerous Shortage of Cancer Drugs

National shortages of vital chemotherapy medications are forcing physicians to develop workarounds and the Biden administration to mount an all-out government response. The shortage of chemo drugs such as cisplatin and carboplatin are leaving hospitals and doctors with difficult decisions about how to treat their patients – including delaying treatment and even rationing doses in some cases. Tonight, we talk to Dr. Amanda Nickles Fader, oncologist at Johns Hopkins Hospital and president-elect of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO), about the crisis and its impact on patients and doctors, as well as what is being done at a federal level to increase supply.
