The Breast Cancer Resource page is intended to provide information on breast cancer and to streamline and simplify the way those with breast cancer may find assistance paying for their medications. According to the National Cancer Institute, breast cancer is a cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare. |
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are programs offered by pharmaceutical companies to help those most in need gain access to their medications at no or low cost. Each program has varying financial and insurance guidelines - when in doubt, call the program. To find the specific PAP information for a specific drug click on the list below. You will then be taken to a listing of all the programs available for that medication. NeedyMeds neither promotes nor endorses the therapies listed below nor the supporters of this page. This page is for educational purposes only. | |
