This makes the 1970s, 1980’s, and 1990’s look like an era of accelerating discovery and therapeutic development. But virtually all of the drugs that we use today to cure children with cancer were discovered and approved in the 1950’s and 1960’s.
20世纪70、80、90年代因此成为名副其实的加速探索和治疗发展期。但今天治疗癌症患儿的药物几乎都是在20世纪50、60年代发明并通过审批的。因此人们不禁要问，推动四十年突飞猛进的不是新药又是什么因素？
