> the latest and greatest cancer drugs.

My understanding is that cancer drugs are considered to be experimental, so there's no "latest and greatest" with any guarantee.

Also, US doctors usually prefer to not get cancer treatment when interviewed, since they know "how the sausage is made."

I would like to ask for a source please. Maybe they don't want cancer treatment in very special circumstances (e.g. cancer with extreme low survival rates, new experimental drug with very painful side effects), but in general and for most cancers? That sounds rather outlandish.


This comment is wrong twice.
