SUMMARY
The general control and surveillance of therapeutic drugs in Australia is discussed. Problems concerned with the systemic contraceptives, in particular the assessment of carcinogenicity arc detailed. It is suggested that monitoring and surveillance systems need to be extended and that the participation of Government in the field of hospital records, coding, morbidity statistics and research into drugrelated problems should be increased. Close international co‐operation in this area is suggested. The systemic contraceptives must be seen in correct perspective in the vast and expanding field of therapeutics. A plea is made for all parties concerned to develop a greater awareness of the many associated problems.
With this extended follow-up, we have shown a long-term survival advantage for MACOP-B chemotherapy over standard CHOP in patients with intermediate-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
