The prevalence of cancer is set to increase sharply with new pressures for change in treatment and prevention. This paper reviews evidence on likely changes in treatment costs, which will increase with improved survival, and on the distribution of costs to society. It then presents a profile of likely change in technology. A concluding section draws out implications for service design and an enhanced role for insurers.
