UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania, Jan. 13 -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news:
The development of new drugs is critical in treating cancer -- if people have access to them. A team co-led by Penn State researchers identified cancer drugs launched between 1990 and 2022 and found that counties with higher gross national income per capita typically had more launches and shorter launch delays.
They published their findings in BMJ Global Health.
