Viabilidade socioeconômica do uso de imunoterapia no tratamento de câncer de pulmão

Resumo

This study analyzes the question of the socioeconomic viability of the treatment of lung cancer, one of the neoplasias with higher incidence and higher mortality rate, through immunotherapy. This type of treatment, the greatest innovation in the fight against cancer in the last decades, brings important challenges of access due to the high cost of treatment. Alternatives that could possibly guarantee access to these therapies were deepened through the analysis of studies already done about this subject and also through in-depth research with professionals working in the area, whether in the cancer care or management. The study was based on three hypotheses, which were deepened and expanded after the research stage, bringing new factors to the topic discussed. The first hypothesis discussed the Brazilian Constitution, that guarantee the universal and comprehensive access to health by the Brazilian population and the role of the State in health promotion. The second discussed socioeconomic criteria for definition of treatment guidelines. The third one debates about methodologies with greater diagnostic precision, guaranteeing the use of high cost drugs only in situations of proven therapeutic gain. Finally, the study seeks to identify alternatives that can guarantee the population access to innovative treatments within the Brazilian socioeconomic reality.
