Information is key when you or your loved ones are diagnosed with cancer. You shouldn’t trust everything you read on the internet . Another new patient centers paper from our common sense oncology team @csoncol

Myth busting: is there evidence behind common precautions people take while on chemotherapy? In this paper, CSO authors discuss evidence & examples of common precautionary recommendations patients receive during treatment. Read it: https://t.co/MwDpgo2jV5 #CommonSenseOncology

Doctors are experimenting with using lower doses of blockbuster cancer drugs. It could help hundreds of thousands of lives — if pharmaceutical companies would allow it.

3/ Only 3 trials mentioned drug costs. These gaps show why we need trial designs that truly prioritize what matters to patients. CSO’s checklist offers a path to better: – Transparency – Practical endpoints – Affordability – Patient-reported outcomes #valuebasedcare

2/Title: Adherence of Published Randomized Phase 3 Cancer Trials to CSO Principles Key results – Only 50% of trials justified their control arms – Just 36% justified the primary endpoint – 14% included quality-of-life as an outcome – Only 2 trials addressed long-term toxicities
