The November 2013 edition of the Journal of Oncology Practice contained an original contribution entitled "The National Cancer Institute-American Society of Clinical Oncology Cancer Trial Accrual Symposium: Summary and Recommendations". This article was penned by Andrea Denicoff and multiple other physicians and summarized the details of the symposium mentioned in the title. Per usual, I have yet been able to read the entire document AND maintain consciousness.
Problem #1: The relevant symposium occurred from April 29-30 in the year of your lord 2010. Yes, approximately 3 years and 7 months later a peer-reviewed article analyzing the symposium was published. Ridiculous.
Problem #2: Of course the symposium participants believe clinical oncology clinical trial accrual is in crisis. They are correct. Sadly they misdiagnose the problem and, therefore, recommend inappropriate treatment.
Problem #3: I am not surprised to report that "the symposium was supported by a public-private partnership". American fascism rules, even in oncology. Shameful.
The LIBERTARIAN BIOETHICS BLOGger could critique this paper for days, but he frankly does not have the energy. His summary: Medical fascists meet to discuss medical problems caused by medical fascism and recommend more medical fascism. Don't waste your time with this nonsense.
