癌症新藥給付加快,部分病友仍承受高額藥費。台灣癌症基金會(簡稱台癌)今天公布調查,目前仍自費用藥的159名受訪者中,近8成每月藥費逾3萬元,呼籲擴大給付並建立基金穩定財源。

台癌醫療副執行長張家崙表示,癌症新藥從取得藥證到健保給付,平均等待時間由2023年的738.7天,降至2025年的307天,兩年間縮短58.4%;但是2020年至2025年納入健保的51項癌症新藥,127個核准適應症中,仍有47個、約37%未給付;41項藥品的給付適應症範圍較藥證限縮,另有藥品擇一使用、療程等限制。

張家崙表示,在63項美國國家癌症資訊網(NCCN)列為第1類建議的治療項目中,59項已取得台灣藥證,其中仍有12項尚未納入健保,建議優先評估給付。

台癌副執行長蔡麗娟表示,9月線上調查回收762份有效樣本,包含病友、家屬及照顧者。其中526名自2025年起曾接受治療者,67.9%藥費來源包含健保或癌症新藥基金,65.6%曾被醫師告知有健保未給付的治療選項。需自費的主要原因包括適應症未給付,以及癌別、期別或復發、轉移條件不符等。

309名曾自費用藥者中,159人仍持續自費,其中78.6%平均每月藥費逾3萬元,逾半數超過5萬元,18.2%超過10萬元,49%已影響生活開銷或承受更嚴重負擔。仍自費且曾被建議使用未給付藥品的144人中,29.9%家庭需籌款或借貸。

台癌執行長張文震表示,百億癌症新藥基金首年納入11項新藥、涵蓋6種癌症,依至今核准藥品估算,全年約4100個家庭受惠。今年截至10月新增4項生效給付藥品、5個適應症,另有5項藥品、6個適應症經共擬會通過,待完成程序。

健康台灣推動委員會委員沈延盛表示,總統賴清德提出2030年癌症標準化死亡率降低1/3的目標,並推動百億癌症新藥基金,因此要朝向此目標,除擴大篩檢與早期診斷,也需加速新藥給付,並建立既有藥品再評估及退場機制。

成功大學臨床藥學與藥物科技研究所教授歐凰姿建議,除加速收載癌症新藥外,也應重新思考暫時性支付階段的給付條件,並持續追蹤療效與安全性,累積本土資料;張文震呼籲,推動基金財源法制化,提前規劃常規健保銜接,支持病友持續治療。
