The Food and Drug Administration has allowed drugs for cancer and other diseases to stay on the market even when follow-up studies showed they didn't extend patients' lives, say congressional investigators.
A report due out Monday from the Government Accountability Office also shows that the FDA has never pulled a drug off the market due to a lack of required follow-up about its actual benefits—even when such information is more than a decade overdue.

Don't know what this report will mean, but I am curious if it could hold unintended consequences for stage IV cancer patients.
