Not the right one, but an example
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28164359
DATA SYNTHESIS:
Of the 199 eligible papers retrieved, 23 studies were included in this systematic literature review. Off-label drug use in inpatients ranged from 18% to 41%. Among adult patients with cancer, 13%-71% received a minimum of one off-label chemotherapy . The main reasons for off-label drug use were 'drug unapproved for specific tumour' and 'modified drug applications'. Among adults, metastatic cancers and palliative care patients received the most off-label drugs. The off-label drug use unsupported by standard treatment guidelines or drug compendia was in the range of 7%-31%.
