CBS is doing a special report this week on drugs for cancer. This video has an interview with the Head of Oncology from the FDA and what their process is to approve drugs for cancer....and an interview with one of the Biotech companies who make the drugs explains that the US requires a whole new clinical trial process of 5 years, even though Russia has already done the 5 year study and has approved the drug...makes sense to hopefully work together with such vital information...as the company states it takes over 1 billion dollars to bring a new cancer drug to market and they can't afford it...and then the story of the woman who started her own Bio-Tech company, driven by her own case of rare cancer...BD
