EFFECTIVENESS OF CANCER TREATMENTS THREATENED BY RISING ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE

This research report (Feb 2020) offers a snapshot of the threat that rising antibiotic resistance poses to the treatment of cancer. The results of the study shine a light on UK’s oncologists worries about the rise of antibiotic resistance and what it means, in their eyes, for the effective care of their patients. It serves a dual purpose: raising awareness of the risks posed by superbugs to healthcare as we know it, and, we hope, encouraging increased support for R&D and procurement for both antibiotics and rapid-diagnostics.
