More Than 1,100 Cancer Treatments in Clinical Testing Offer Hope to Patients

In recent decades, substantial progress has been made in the fight against cancer. Since peaking in the 1990s, cancer death rates have declined 26 percent, leading to more than 2.3 million cancer deaths avoided. Accordingly, rates of cancer survivorship continue to rise. The number of cancer survivors living in the United States has increased from three million in 1971 to 15.5 million as of January 1, 2016. Approximately 73 percent of survival gains in cancer are attributable to new medicines. Between 1988 and 2000, treatment advances in cancer have saved 23 million years of life and added $1.9 trillion to society based on improved productivity, extended life and other factors. And, since 1975, the chances that a cancer patient will live five years or more have increased by 41 percent across all cancers. …

Today, 1,120 medicines and vaccines for cancer are currently in development by America’s biopharmaceutical companies, all of which are in clinical trials or awaiting review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The medicines in development include:

• 137 for several types of leukemia, which accounts for more than three percent of all new cases of cancer.

• 135 for lymphoma, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which accounts for nearly five percent of all new cancer diagnoses.

• 132 for lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death in the United States, with more than 154,000 deaths and 234,030 new cases expected in 2018.

• 108 for breast cancer, the leading cancer diagnosed in women in the United States with more than 266,000 new cases expected in 2018.

• 90 for brain tumors, including gliomas, which represent nearly 25 percent of all primary brain tumors.

• 46 for skin cancer, including melanoma, which accounts for 69 percent of all skin cancer deaths (excluding basal and squamous cell).

Other medicines in development target colorectal cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, childhood cancers and solid tumors, among others.

SAS Pup Rips Out Terrorists Throat, Subdues 3 Gun-Wielding Jihadists and Saves Entire Team

… According to the U.K. Daily Sun, the incident happened in northern Syria two months back but was only recently declassified. A group of six British Special Air Service fighters had taken along the dog, known for its bravery and ferociousness, on their patrol. …

“When the team entered the building they saw the dog standing over a dead gunman,” the source reported.

“His throat had been torn out and he had bled to death. There was also a lump of human flesh in one corner and a series of blood trails leading out of the back of the building.

“The dog was virtually uninjured. The SAS were able to consolidate their defensive position and eventually break away from the battle without taking any casualties.”

Two other jihadis were subdued and another six fled. The SAS commander apparently reported this was all due to the dog.

WTF? Is this normal practice for vetting a SCOTUS nominee?

NYT: Rosenstein asks prosecutors to help review Kavanaugh documents

by Khorri Atkinson

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has asked the offices of all 93 U.S. attorneys to each provide up to three federal prosecutors to assist the Justice Department in reviewing government records of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the New York Times reports, citing a letter it obtained.

Why it matters: The Times notes that this is an unusual move because department attorneys are not typically responsible for carrying out such a task. "The production of documents could slow down a confirmation hearing that has already shaped up as a sharp partisan battle. Democratic lawmakers say they want to inspect all of Judge Kavanaugh’s documents, including his staff work and over 300 opinions he has issued as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit," the report notes.

What they're saying: Former law enforcement officials told the Times that Rosenstein's request is troubling.

•"It’s flat-out wrong to have career federal prosecutors engaged in a political process like the vetting of a Supreme Court nominee. It takes them away from the mission they’re supposed to be fulfilling, which is effective criminal justice enforcement," Christopher Hunter, a former F.B.I. agent and federal prosecutor for almost 11 years, told the publication.

•But Michael Zubrensky, a former Justice Department lawyer who oversaw the agency's Office of Legal Policy, said Kavanaugh's long paper trail could be the reason for Rosenstein's request.

•Sarah Isgur Flores, spokeswoman for the Department of Justice, told the Times that prosecutors have been used in the past to vet Supreme Court nominees. "[T]he scope of the production of executive branch documents we’ve been asked for is many, many times as large," she said.

Rosenstein also wrote that he would need the equivalent of 100 full-time attorneys to work on the nominee's confirmation hearing.
