Doctors want independent review of cancer treatment drugs

Overdose of cancer treatment drugs may be harmful to the health and recovery of patients. Treatment should ideally be calibrated to suit individuals instead of being treated as part of the production line and general statistics.

Some Australian oncologists are calling for independent review of cancer treatment to ensure toxic, expensive and ineffective drugs are not being overused at the expense of patients and taxpayers.
