group of patients that are relatively helpless when it comes to doing their own research

The fact is it is very difficult indeed to compare these treatments across trials. Without access to detailed statistics it is virtually impossible. When you are dealing with different types of disease in different stages it becomes even harder. At some point even the most diligent patient throws up his or her hands and lets the doctor decide.

And my earlier diatribe was simplistic as well. Some doctors like to try new stuff. Others like to stick with the "tried and true" and wait a few years to see how new drugs pan out.

My guess is that if QLTI is weak on approval here then it's probably a decent buy. I have a little tucked away - but nothing major at all.
