Consider these data points on cancer disparities:
We asked the leadership of 10 companies to share their visions of the future of data sharing, describe their portfolios in real-world evidence, and opine on what it would take to convince FDA accept real-world endpoints in regulatory decision-making in oncology.
If real-world endpoints are indeed accurate proxies for clinical trial endpoints, real-world endpoints should start to look increasingly similar to the clinical trial endpoints as more stringent criteria are applied, said Jeff Allen, president and CEO of Friends of Cancer Research.
As one of the cancer hospitals serving Los Angeles County, the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Center has to face the challenge of providing the most sophisticated—and most expensive—care to a largely underserved population.
William Kaelin and Gregg Semenza have a message for young scientists: do science for its own sake—and enjoy it.
David H. Thompson, a professor at the Department of Chemistry at Purdue University and a member of the Purdue Center for Cancer Research, is working on a better and faster way to produce drugs and eliminate shortages.
By allowing cancer centers to extend their Cancer Center Support Grant award period from five to seven years, NCI hopes to enable eligible centers to spend less time preparing for a grant renewal in favor of conducting more research and setting long-term goals.
The recommendations on red and processed meats have not changed much over three decades, because the fact is that red and processed meats are associated with increased health risks, said Nigel Brockton, vice president of research at the American Institute for Cancer Research.
Older guidelines on red and processed meat are not very transparent about the methodology that was used to search, select, and rate the quality of the evidence, said Christine Laine, editor in chief of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
We asked six experts in disease prevention, nutrition, and guidelinemaking to discuss the just-published recommendations that disagree with the dietary guidelines promulgated by mainstream health organizations.
