aprobación de drogas, evaluación de medicamentos, neoplasias, oncología médica, terapéuticaResumen
Los diversos trastornos malignos de los tejidos humanos afectan a una gran proporción de personas de Colombia y el mundo, lo que ha llevado al incremento de los tratamientos farmacológicos para estas enfermedades, sin que se tenga claro el real beneficio para los pacientes que los reciben. Además, se tienen dudas sobre la calidad de la evidencia en la que se basan las instituciones que avalan los tratamientos anti-cáncer con medicamentos, como son la Food and Drug Administration (FDA) y la European Medicines Agency (EMA). Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo conocer cómo se realizan los estudios de eficacia y la forma en que se aprueban los tratamientos con medicamentos que se ofrecen a las personas con cáncer; se realizó una revisión narrativa, que se basó en la formulación de preguntas que guiaron el desarrollo de los temas que se incluyeron en ella. Se hizo la búsqueda de la información en Pubmed de una forma estructurada, no sistemática. Se incluyeron artículos publicados en inglés y español, sin restricción por fecha de publicación.
