"Dr. Buzdar has no associations or financial interest with this company or any other pharmaceutical company. Nor does he serve as a consultant or scientific advisor for any company."

When we looked into this we found this statement was very misleading. MD Anderson had a standing contract with Glaxo-Smith-Kline for royalties for a competing product. It is a huge contract. Given that Dr. Budzar works at MD Anderson, he benifits from that competing contract. Therefore this statement by MD Anderson was simply false.

Further research showed that both GSK and MD Anderson had soiled their reputations in the recent past due to misconduct. GSK had recently paid a record fine for misconduct in their marketing practices, and MD Anderson had also been censured over a related issue... I don't immediately recall the details of that censure.
