Why researchers are asking more Black patients to join DC lung cancer clinical trials

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:54:48 GMT

Cancer researchers are tracking a deadly trend: a boost in new lung cancer cases among Black people in D.C. Oftentimes when doctors discover those cases, patients are in the mid-to-late stages, according to the American Lung Association.The data has spurred the nonprofit to step up a new campaign to enroll more African American patients in clinical trials as a treatment option, said Deborah Brown, the group’s chief mission officer.“Black Americans deserve to benefit from the cutting-edge trials that are being offered,” Brown said. “It’s really important for us to start talking about the importance of screening with a doctor.”African Americans in D.C. have more than a 130% chance of being diagnosed with the illness compared to white people, and Black people are less likely to receive surgical treatment once diagnosed, according to the nonprofit’s 2022 report.While more white people are surviving the disease, fewer Black people are. Researchers report that the five-year su...

Tories take one more shot at Partygate watchdog Sue Gray before she joins Labour

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:54:48 GMT

LONDON — Sue Gray broke Whitehall’s strict impartiality rules as she discussed leaving the civil service to become opposition leader Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, according to the British government.In a parting shot at Gray, a long-serving official who led a damning probe into Boris Johnson’s administration before making the leap to Labour, Cabinet Office Minister Jeremy Quin said Gray had committed a “prima facie” breach of the Civil Service Code in her discussions about the job.“It is right that we maintain the principle of confidentiality with respect to individual personnel matters,” Quin said. “However, I am sure the House will agree with me that the facts in this case, when compared to the rules and guidance in place for civil servants, speak for themselves, and that there is a public interest in ensuring that the Civil Service Code is adhered to.”Gray’s appointment has raised eyebrows in Whitehall — which prizes th...

Super crops are coming: Is Europe ready for a new generation of gene-edited plants?

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:54:48 GMT

Brussels is finalizing a law to legalize new gene-editing technologies for crops across the European Union.The EU’s ultra-restrictive GMO regulation, which predates newer technologies, sets extremely high hurdles for growing genetically engineered crops and allows EU countries to ban them even after they have been proven to be safe.The new law aims to cut red tape and allow easier market access for plants grown with “new genomic techniques” (NGTs), such as CRISPR-Cas9, which target specific genes without necessarily introducing genetic material from outside the breeders’ gene pool.The rules are being pushed by multinationals such as Bayer, Syngenta and Corteva, which together control the lion’s share of the plant breeding sector, as well as a host of smaller companies, scientists and farmers’ groups such as Copa-Cogeca.They argue that the EU risks falling behind the rest of the world in using new crops with special traits that can make them more nutritious, efficient and...
