广播电视英语短句 第 105 课：癌症护理范围-4

The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. 专家们称癌症护理不一定很昂贵。

For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs that are off-patent. 比如，病人可以使用价格偏低且不具专利的药物。

This means the drugs are no longer legally protected against being copied. 即这些药物不再受合法保护。

In another new report, the American Cancer Society says cancer has the highest economic cost of any cause of death. 在另外一份新报告里，美国癌症学会表示在任何死亡原因中，癌症所造成的经济损失是最高的。
