re: Clincal Trials - creating new/more cancer?

I'm at odds with the clinical trials. For one, there is no end in site. Other's treatments I continue to read are "I went on so-and-so for 4 months...". With the Clinical Trials there is no end. They continue until 1) the patient decides to go off themselves 2) if the cancer begins to grow again 3) if the patient dies, obviously.

Question - there seems to be a point where the trial has worked, tumors have shrank, surgery could be done BUT the doctors continue with the trial until it shows progression leaving, again, no opportunity for surgery. I would love some thoughts on this...
