New Treatments For Any Cancer

[Guest guest]

The real effects of new treatments compared with standard treatments

in terms of patient outcomes such as survival is best measured by

quantitative pooling of data " . There is a slight superiority for

experimental over standard treatments, with a 5 percent relative

reduction in the death rate, they say.

 

This benefit was not, however, uniform. For example, trial

investigators judged that 15 percent of the trials resulted in the

discovery of breakthrough interventions and 2 percent of the trials

identified experimental interventions that reduced death rates by at

least 50 percent.

 

The fact that a substantial number of trials were inconclusive is a

concern. " There were a tremendous proportion of inconclusive

studies, " Dr. Djulbegovic said. " I think it is expectation bias -- the

studies accrued more patients than planned, but the investigators

anticipated an unrealistically optimistic treatment effect. "

 

The investigators conclude, based on their research, that " society has

received a good return on its investment in the cooperative oncology

group system, " which funds the trials.

In any type and case of cancer there must be a good relationship and

by this I mean confidence, trust, and professionalism between the

physician and the patient.

 

It is important to say that there are many choices to make about

cancer treatment. One choice is alternative medicine. Standard care is

what medical doctors, doctors of osteopathy, and allied health

professionals, such as registered nurses and physical therapists,

practice. Alternative medicine means treatments that you use instead

of standard ones. Complementary medicine means nonstandard treatments

that you use along with standard ones.

I just wrote a blog about it:
