Spending on cancer medicines in the U.S. has doubled since 2012, reaching nearly $50 billion last year, thanks to a recent rush of new treatments that were launched at high prices. And this may be only the beginning: Spending is expected to roughly double — to $100 billion — by 2022, or from 12 percent to 15 percent annually, according to a new analysis.
