Abstract:
nnovation in oncology does not rely solely on laboratory researchers or big pharma. Increasingly, physicians them selves are becoming agents of change, bringing innovative ideas from the bedside to the marketplace. This chapter explores the journeys of these “physician-innovators,” their motivations, successes, and the obstacles they face. “Innovation in medicine requires patience and long-term vision. But seeing a patient benefit from a technology we have developed is an inestimable reward.”
