【每日邮报110927】专家称医疗不能自圆其说：即使只能延长寿命，也不要放弃治疗
Don't give out cancer drugs if it's just to extend life: Treatment costs can't be justified, say experts
癌症治疗不但成本高，还带给患者虚假的希望。37位癌症专家称，这种治疗是“多余的”，只能导致医生“过多度治疗，过度诊断，过度预期”。 实际上，钱应该用在更好的检测设备和实验上，以确定哪种肿瘤可以治愈，哪些病人可以治疗这类“疑难问题”。
The treatments give false hope, are too costly and the 37 cancer experts claimed a 'culture of excess' had led doctors to 'overtreat, overdiagnose and overpromise'. Instead, money should be invested in better scans and tests to determine whether a tumour is beatable, leaving 'difficult decisions' as to who gets treatment.
