"Ontarians engaged in a battle with cancer must have the support of our government," Smitherman said. "We're committed to helping them in their struggle by providing access to the medications and treatments that will give them the best possible chance of winning their fight." The McGuinty government will provide $8.2 million this year, increasing to $15 million the next year, to pro- vide coverage for the following drug treatments: • Velcade — for the treatment of multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that affects bone marrow, when previous drug therapies have failed; • Taxotere — for early stage breast cancer; • Tomudex — for lung cancer • Tarceva — for late -stage lung cancer. "I am very pleased with this announcement regarding the approval of these four drugs.

The funding of these drugs is based on recommenda- tions of the Drug Quality and Therapeutics Committee (DQTC), an arm's length advisory body of medical experts who assess the scientific evidence for drugs. "This is great news for cancer patients in Ontario," said Cancer Care Ontario CEO Terry Sullivan. "The gov- ernment has moved responsibly, based on best evi- dence, to ensure these drugs were properly reviewed and then made available to patients as quickly as possi- ble." In the case of Velcade, the government was able to provide funding after the drug manufacturer provided the DQTC with the information required to support a positive funding recommendation. "In the spirit of Bill 102, this is an example of a truly collaborative effort, whereby the manufacturer, CCO, and the Ministry worked together to address some of the initial concerns of the expert committee, which has now resulted in a positive recommendation," said Smitherman.
