What role do clinical trials play in cancer publications?
Clinical trials are the cornerstone of evidence-based cancer therapy. The results from clinical trials are often published in high-impact journals and provide critical information on the safety, efficacy, and potential side effects of new treatments. These publications help in the formulation of clinical guidelines and inform medical practice. Notable examples include the publication of pivotal trials for drugs like Imatinib in chronic myeloid leukemia and Trastuzumab in HER2-positive breast cancer.
