title: Costs Cast Shadow on Optimism about Treatment.
abstract: The future of cancer treatment looks bright to Managed Care readers. But it's optimism with a catch because they are also concerned about the cost of treatment-and most are dubious that efforts to rein in costs will do much good. In an online survey conducted from September 9 to September 20, almost half (48%) of the respondents said they were optimistic about significant progress expected for cancer treatments over the next five years.
