I like to read prognosis
for the future and here I planned to have a pleasure to go through a
prognosis for 2013: Cleveland
Clinic Names Top 10 Medical Innovations for 2013.
After reading the first
question was: why this prognosis is interested in only drugs against
prostate cancer? But O key, let's take only these drugs:
In
the past two years, five new drugs have been approved for advanced
prostate cancer: sipuleucel-T, denosumab, abiraterone, cabazitaxel,
and enzalutamide. A sixth, radium-223 dichloride, is expected to be
approved later this year.
Significant
progress has been made in treating advanced prostate cancer, not only
by greatly increasing patient survival, but also by halting the
progress of this disease.
Many
in the prostate cancer research community now believe that these
drugs, and others coming from the prostate cancer therapeutic
pipeline, will one day help make advanced prostate cancer a chronic
disease that’s successfully managed with a routine of daily
medication, lifestyle modification, and regular checkups.
Well, I do not understand
the message: what should be considered as innovation? Radium-223
dichloride? Or 5 new drugs that already have been approved? I am a
little disappointed with this prognosis/prediction. Bad job, not
professionally done!
