FDA fails to follow up on unproven drugs, including cancer drugs...
 
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.
