- Authors
Chabner, Bruce A.
- Abstract
The author comments on the threats made by patient advocates to cancer specialists in the U.S. who expressed negative opinion on the marketing of Provenge vaccine for prostate cancer. He cites the decision of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to refuse the recommendation by a vaccine advisory group for the marketing approval of Provenge. He explains the impact of oncoterrorism on the decision making of FDA about research. He states his support for the marketing of new drugs if such action is based on evidence from clinical trials.
