Stage IV Breast Cancer Patients need better access to critical drugs.

Today, access to drugs for stage IV breast cancer, also known as metastatic breast cancer (mBC), varies from province to province. We think everyone should have the same access, regardless of where they live.

One level of care benefits all of us.

Despite stage IV breast cancer being incurable, it can be managed for many years with the right medication, including innovative new treatments.

Some Canadians can access drugs years before others, just because of where they live.

These Canadians have no choice but to undergo less effective treatments while they wait for newer drugs to be approved.

Even when a treatment is finally funded by a provincial healthcare plan, the person living with stage IV breast cancer may no longer qualify to receive it.

Stage IV breast cancer patients urgently need a system that shortens wait times for new drugs and helps them access the drugs they need, no matter where they live.
