A bill signed into law by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey on Friday requires health
insurers and the state's Medicaid plan to pay for so-called "biomarker tests"
that are needed for many modern cancer treatments.
The legislation's signing was hailed by the American Cancer Society, which
called biomarker testing a critical step in assessing precision cancer
treatments. Measuring the presence of certain biomarkers such as gene mutations
allows doctors to better target certain cancers and can lead to fewer side
affects and better quality of life and survival rates.
"Close to 60% of the oncology drugs launched in the past five years require or
recommend biomarker testing prior to use," said Brian Hummell, government
relations director for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network in
Arizona. "And the percentage of cancer clinical trials that involve biomarkers
has grown significantly."
The bill passed with overwhelming support in the Legislature.
