A portion of the cost of targeted therapy can be reimbursed, although the types of targeted drugs that may be included in the reimbursement vary from province to province and from region to region. For example, first-line targeted drugs for lung cancer, such as ERSA and Tricor, are eligible for reimbursement as special drugs. Targeted drugs such as Herceptin, which is commonly used in breast cancer, are also covered in most provinces. For gastric cancer, there are also multi-target oral targeted drugs, such as Apatinib, which are now covered. You can go to your hospital or local health insurance department for details, as there will be a drug list to check if the targeted drug you are using is reimbursable. Targeted therapy may have less side effects and better anti-tumor effects than chemotherapy and other treatments.
