Medical Publisher Reviews Claim of Ghostwriting by Wyeth

The New York Times reports that Elsevier, a publisher of medical journals, is investigating whether an article published in the May 2003 edition of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology was ghostwritten by Wyeth.   The article found “no definitive evidence” that Wyeth’s Prempro hormone drug caused breast cancer.  The author of the article stands by the article; Wyeth similarly denies any ghostwriting.
