Are Ivanhoe's stories peer-reviewed?

No. We are a news service with more than 15 years of medical reporting experience. We do rely on a cadre of medical doctors we call upon from time to time to confirm the significance and validity of a story.

How does Ivanhoe decide on an early study that has not been peer-reviewed yet?

When researching any story, Ivanhoe's news department takes into consideration the medical center where the studies are being conducted as well as the background of the doctors leading the study. Each story is approved based on these factors as well as the impact the research may have and the disease it is targeted for. There are some diseases that breakthroughs rarely come, and patients are eager for an update on what is being studied.
