FDA fails to follow up after finding that many cancer medications have failed to extend patients lives, no follow up testing has been done, and in some cases is decades over due.
A report due out today from the Government Accountability Office also shows that the FDA has never pulled a drug off the market due to a lack of required follow-up about its actual benefits - even when such information is more than a decade overdue.
The drug company are so bluntly corrupt they they don't even care if the dangerous chemotherapy drugs even work?
I know you are tempted but do not loss hope.....all is not lost...

When pressed about that policy, agency officials said they have no plans to get more aggressive.
The GAO says the FDA should do more to track whether drugs approved based on preliminary results actually have lived up to their promise.
The FDA responded that the report paints an overly negative picture of its so-called "accelerated approval" program, which is only used to approve drugs for the most serious diseases.
