WASHINGTON — The White House says it’s working to end shortages of three key generic chemotherapies. But experts said the administration would have to provide more details to fully mitigate the health care system’s concerns.

Carboplatin, cisplatin, and methotrexate are three of 15 cancer drugs in shortage in the United States.
