Abstract:

A nationwide shortage of major cancer drugs has hospitals and cancer centers in the Raleigh/Durham metro area scrambling to meet patient demand. Due mainly to manufacturing glitches, drugs that are used to treat leukemia, ovarian, breast, and other cancers are in short supply forcing healthcare practitioners to use alternative drugs.
