Precision Medicine Horizon Scan: Prasad's New Book
As of April 21, 2020, he has a new book out, "Malignant: How Bad Policy and Bad Evidence Harm People with Cancer" - Johns Hopkins University Press. JHU here, Amazon here.
Some soundbites include: "This is a book about how the actions of human beings—our policies, our standards of evidence, and our drug regulation—incentivize the pursuit of marginal or unproven therapies at lofty and unsustainable prices. [And Prasad] critiques the financial conflicts of interest that pervade the oncology field, the pharmaceutical industry, and the US Food and Drug administration."
This is Prasad's second book; see also "Ending Medical Reversal," Prasad & Cifu, Johns Hopkins, 2015. Here.
