Gynecologic Cancer Research at a Crossroads
Journal Title: Gynecology and Obstetrics Research – Open Journal - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Gynecologic cancer research is currently at a crossroads. Recent changes in the NCI’s approach to clinical cancer research have resulted in a complex makeover of the federal clinical research community. This was prompted by perceived inefficiencies in the existing model, as well as the realities of stagnant (or declining) funding for the foreseeable future.
