I agree that there are going to be issues that they are going to deal with but there is definitely a need out there for doctors and patients to have the best treatment options available. We don't know how this is going to be structured, but maybe they will create a system that will make the pharma/doc relationship more efficient.

Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies may help some people but they do not allow the doctors to rport the adverse side effects that are causing problems. Cancer Centers are not working to help the patient and need better supervision. The method that many cancer centers utilize are not for the caring for the conditions of the cancer patients, itis oncerned with making money from the treatments. Some patients are misdiagnosed and might not have cancer.

Not because pharma may be involved but because there is already so much unregulated crap out there based on personal opinions. I believe that this just legitimizes it. Mmm, this is dangerous.

Umm...because it doesn't sound like it will be. In fact, it sounds like the site is dedicated to that very purpose. So much of cancer treatment is done off-label, and if they are looking to provide "access to the best and most timely info they don’t always have now" that's clearly not what is "on label". Further, since "The strategy is to create a link between willing docs and drugmakers," well, it stands to reason that "info they don’t always have now" will be coming from drugmakers. Wow. Just...wow. Considering how closely the Feds monitor off-label promotion, no drugmaker in their right mind will use this. How many of them will be in their right mind? “How this will be established to monitor off-label communications is not clear.”
