Abstract

En 中文
Modern oncology has built highly efficient pathways for patent-protected innovation, but no equivalent machinery for evaluating and developing promising off-patent therapeutics. Herein, we frame ‘open-source oncology’ as a parallel public-interest infrastructure to test, authorize and implement credible generic agents. Designed to translate ownerless evidence into standard-of-care treatments, this framework applies the same scientific seriousness devoted to proprietary drugs, decoupling clinical value from commercial ownership.
