Old news that is new to me….

Serena Stockwell, my editor at Oncology Times, reports that Lancet Oncology cited one of my OT articles in its May 2008, issue:

“We’re going to have to start having a discussion”, Lee Newcomer (United-Healthcare, Minnetonka, MN, USA) recently told Oncology Times. “In the UK, the cost-effectiveness threshold has been set at £40000 per year of life gained by the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence. Where is our threshold for how much we spend to gain an extra year of life in oncology?”

The Lancet Oncology is an affiliate of The Lancet, which bills itself as the world’s leading independent medical journal.
