We investigate the effect of availability of new drugs on survival from 17 types of cancer in 38 countries, controlling for all determinants of cancer survival that are invariant across cancer types within a given country, and that are invariant across countries for a given cancer type. We find that an increase in the number of available drugs is associated with an increase in both the one-year and the five-year survival rate. Also, the probability that a cancer drug has been launched in a country depends on the incidence of cancer cases eligible for treatment by that drug in that country
