A second new personalized treatment for cancer has won approval from the Food and Drug Administration — a clear sign that such treatments will become more widely available for patients with no other options.
The treatment is called CAR-T and can have dramatic effects in some patients. But it is both grueling and expensive and will remain a last-ditch treatment for a few, specific cancer types.
The company that will market it, Gilead Sciences, has priced it at $373,000 and the FDA warns it can cause severe side effects.

In a statement, the American Society of Clinical Oncology asked Americans to drink less alcohol.
-
The group, which includes the nation’s top cancer doctors, cited several years of research that links alcohol — even as little as a glass of wine or beer a day — with cancer.
-
You can also do certain things to decrease your cancer risk, like getting more exercise.
It’s not every day that a group of the nation’s top cancer doctors asks people to curb their drinking.
In a statement released Tuesday, the American Society of Clinical Oncology outlined research tying alcohol to two types of cancer and told Americans to drink less.
“ASCO believes that a proactive stance by the Society to minimize excessive exposure to alcohol has important implications for cancer prevention,” the statement, which was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, said.

The genetic causes of breast cancer just got clearer.
Researchers from 300 institutions around the world combined forces to discover 72 previously unknown gene mutations that lead to the development of breast cancer. Two studies describing their work published Monday in the journals Nature and Nature Genetics..The teams found that 65 of the newly identified genetic variants are common among women with breast cancer..The remaining seven mutations predispose women to developing a type of breast cancer known as estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer, which doesn’t respond to hormonal therapies, such as the drug tamoxifen..The new discoveries add to previous research bringing the total number of known variants associated with breast cancer to nearly 180.

Cancer researcher Jim Allison stands at the edge of a small stage, fiddling with his harmonica, his unruly gray hair hanging almost to his shoulders. Soon, surrounded by eight other cancer experts who also happen to be musicians, he’ll be growling out the classic “Big Boss Man” before a boisterous crowd at the House of Blues.
It’s a fitting number, says Patrick Hwu, who plays keyboards for the band and is Allison’s colleague at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. “When it comes to immunotherapy, he is the big boss man.”

The Trump Organization has been paid to walk away from its prized Trump SoHo hotel, severing a management contract and ending the company’s ties to the struggling Manhattan establishment.
A deal was reached on Wednesday in which CIM Group, the California-based investment company which owns the building, bought the Trump Organization out of the remainder of their contract to manage the hotel.
The buyout means that, at the end of December, the Trump Organization will walk away.
CIM will then be entitled to rebrand the hotel and try and turn its fortunes around.

Trump’s net worth drops $600 million on Forbes’ rich list, falls 92 spots

The rich are getting richer. But not Donald Trump.
The Forbes list of 400 richest Americans shows that the billionaire-in-chief’s fortune fell by $600 million to $3.1 billion. As a result he dropped to #248 on the list, after coming in at #156 last year.
The magazine attributed his decline in wealth to “a tough New York real estate market, particularly for retail locations; a costly lawsuit and an expensive presidential campaign.” Trump reached a $25 million settlement in a suit that claims that his Trump University real estate seminars defrauded students..But overall the richest Americans are richer than they were a year ago. In fact it now takes a record $2 billion to make the cut of the richest 400 Americans. The magazine estimates there are 169 billionaires who were too “poor” to make the cut, including Facebook (FB, Tech30) Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.

NBC News reports Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Donald Trump a “moron” after a July 20 meeting at the Pentagon. Mike Pence allegedly talked Tillerson out of resigning that week.
Once again, Donald Trump’s own Twitter history has provided the perfect response to the news reports his own secretary of state thinks he’s a “fucking moron.”

Top General Says He Would Reject An ‘Illegal’ Nuclear Strike Order From Trump

The top nuclear commander in the U.S. said Saturday that he would reject an “illegal” nuclear attack order from President Donald Trump, and would instead steer the commander in chief to other “options.”
“If you execute an unlawful order, you will go to jail,” Air Force Gen. John Hyten told an audience at the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia. “You could go to jail for the rest of your life.”
Hyten, the commander of the U.S. Strategic Command who oversees America’s nuclear arsenal, spoke at a forum titled “Nukes: The Fire and the Fury,” as recorded in a video on the event’s Facebook page. He didn’t define what exactly would constitute an illegal launch order. But Hyten said he has been trained for the past 36 years in the law of armed conflict, and mentioned the consideration of such elements as proportional response and unnecessary suffering that would be caused by such a conflagration.
In the event Trump suggests an illegal strike, Hyten described a scenario in which he would present Trump with legal choices.
