Raise standards for preclinical cancer research
Glenn Begley and Lee Ellis propose how methods, publications and incentives must change if patients are to benefit.
This 2012 article discusses systemic issues in the field of preclinical cancer research, focusing on the lack of rigor and in ability to reproduce results in published studies. Researchers from Amgen Corp looked at 53 published studies and tried to replicate their findings. They were only able to reproduce six of the 53 experimental results. This poor ability to replicate the work points to massive problems in oncology and hematology research. The 53 papers had been previously thought to have validated results and had been relied on for subsequent research.
