"From the Bench to the Bedside" is a phrase that is commonly used to describe the progression of research. Any discoveries begin in the lab, at the bench. Those that look promising proceed through a careful system of experiments and trials before being used with patients.
Once again, Living Beyond Breast Cancer (www.lbbc.org) has an excellent podcast with George W. Sledge, MD about the progress of breast cancer research. Here is a summary and a link:
