Rethinking cancer goals as targeted drugs show limited long term impact
Cancer experts warn that many new drugs slow disease modestly or briefly with substantial variability. They foresee combining therapies to match each cancer’s biology and aim to turn cancer into a manageable chronic condition rather than a cure.
No cause to give up hope on cancer battle says Iowa doctors
Dr Chirantan Ghosh of Iowa Blood and Cancer Care in Cedar Rapids argues against hype of a cure and stresses prevention. He notes half of cancers are preventable through lifestyle changes and urges realistic goals in treatment development alongside better understanding of targeted therapies. Dr James Wooldridge of the University of Iowa cautions against single approach optimism and recommends exploring multiple pathway targets.
