Explanation / Answer
1.
All new drugs and treatments have to be thoroughly tested before they are licensed and available for patients. It takes time for a new drug to go through the various stages of testing. This process is often called from the bench to the bedside. A new drug is first studied in the laboratory. If the drug looks promising, it is carefully studied in people. Studies that involve people are called clinical trials. Clinical trials in cancer look at
Risks and causes - how genetics, lifestyle and other factors can increase cancer risk
Preventing cancer using drugs, vitamins, or changes in lifestyle, including diet
Screening for people at higher than average risk, or for the general population
Diagnosing cancer with new tests or scans
Treatments with new drugs or combinations of drugs, new ways of giving treatment or new types of treatment
Controlling symptoms with new drugs or complementary therapies
New drugs are only prescribed and used as part of standard treatment for cancer after they have gone through clinical trials.
