FDA eyes faster approval of chemotherapy treatments
Define "faster." IMO, one of the biggest scams in America (other than Obama, oh,and the Space Shuttle) has been the amount of money and time spent in the last half-century on curing diseases like cancer, MS, MD, ALS, Parkinson's etc.
Trillions of dollars and 50 years later and these "scientists" have little to show for their efforts.
Yes, there's been minor progress, but when I look at what Jonas Salk did in just a few years, in the (archaic) 1950s, with very little funding, I have no choice but to think it's all about the money.

I would love to see some of the ‘tested and dismissed’ drugs come back for human trials...and WORK.

There is no reason, IMHO, not to throw EVERYTHING at the wall, as it were, in trying to cure/eradicate diseases/viruses/etc. while people are dying of the same; and when these same people would happily sign any consent form to be a human guinea pig (what have they got to lose?).

Just another damn UnConstitutional bloated bureaucracy that should go away
