Are cancer patients being overmedicated

The article reviews the experience of economist Chuck Mensky in determining the effectiveness of immunotherapy for melanoma cancer. He decided to stop treatment after suffering from severe side effects, despite there being no signs of cancer at that time. The article also discusses the importance of researching optimal dosing for cancer drugs and reducing doses to minimize side effects and lower costs, as it is estimated that dose reduction could save billions of dollars annually, although companies and doctors face legal and financial challenges in doing so. Research efforts, including studies and clinical trials, are increasingly aiming to strike a balance between treatment efficacy and patients' quality of life.
