The urgent need to improve the tools to assess clinical benefit and value of cancer treatment

There are several controversies in the assessment of the benefit, value and sustainability of cancer drugs. First, there is a surprising disagreement on the impact of drugs on the overall outcome of cancer treatment. Second, raising the bar of efficacy in clinical trials is claimed by many, but at the same time, being conservative appears justified as well, given the overall benefit of multiple incremental gains, typically observed in advanced solid tumours. Third, sustainability of cancer drug cost is a prohibitive challenge, but no major successful action has been taken so far.
