| Popis: |
The number of new oncological treatments is increasing rapidly, even though many offer limited benefit to patients. In these cases, the scientific research leading to approvals is marred by shortcomings. Nonetheless, many drugs of limited value are approved by regulatory agencies. One of the factors contributing thereto is financial conflict of interest (FCI) with the pharmaceutical industry (Pharma). This occurs at different levels, including researchers, opinion leaders and editors of medical journals. FCI contributes to patient exposure to treatments that offer limited or no benefit and to unjust spending of valuable resources while providing large revenues for Pharma. The important step of the 'NederlandsTijdschriftvoorGeneeskunde' (NTVG) to omit all pharmaceutical advertisement as well as advertisement for pharmaceutical industry sponsored medical education sends an important signal and is a first step to revalue the important relationship with the pharmaceutical industry. |
