Delayed Treatments for Prostate Cancer



With news reports out that the Journal of the National Cancer Institute has
found that delayed intervention for prostate cancer is better than
overtreatment, links to the August 16 journal site require you to PAY for
the article. Has anyone posting here paid or has a university subscription
to the journal? What about some details? News reports are pretty bad on
the details. The fee is $28 for viewing for 1 day. Since authors do not
get paid for writing for these journals, and since most of the research is
paid for by the taxpayers in the first place, it is a disgrace that the
public cannot even read publically-paid-for research.

Does anyone here have access to the article and wants to post some details?
I hope that these rip-off journals go out of business with the Feds trying
to make the research they pay for in the first place available to the public
without having to pay $28 just to peek. Is it another medical disgrace.
