Résumé
Multiple new cancer drugs have been marketed during the last decade, and among those many molecularly targeted agents. Their impact on clinical outcomes population-wide remains hard to measure. Are we merely seeing the development of expensive and toxic drugs that benefit a minority of patients, or are battles actually won in the war on cancer? Both epidemiologic trends and clinical trial data show that a patient's outcome today is significantly better than 10 or 20 years ago, in terms of cure rates and survival time for advanced disease.
