Cancer is an increasing cause of morbidity and mortality in the majority of countries. "Breakthroughs" in cancer research are routinely reported in the media. While some stories are supported by current research and provide promise for new therapies, others are rushed or driven by publicity, leaving their motivations unclear. The general public has high expectations that fundamental research on cancer would improve cancer treatments and care. Clinical trials, which are essential for establishing the effectiveness of cutting-edge medications, are, nevertheless, poorly understood and understood in a limited way. Because of people's opinion that all novel therapies are likely superior to the present standard of care and their discomfort with the randomization, recruitment to randomised clinical trials examining novel cancer therapies is usually slow.
