FDA to open new cancer office

From American Cancer Society News:

The Food and Drug Administration plans to create an oncology office to review drugs and imaging devices used in cancer diagnosis and treatment. The new Office of Oncology Drug Products will combine 3 existing areas within the FDA. The center is expected to open in 2005.

It is hoped the change will make the approval of cancer treatments more efficient and consistent.
