Several drugs are scoring big wins against common cancers, setting new standards for how to treat many prostate, breast and lung tumors. There’s even a “uni-drug” that may fight many forms of the disease. What’s especially striking: The drugs are beneficial in some cases for more than a year, much longer than the few months many new drugs provide.  Here are some highlights from the world’s largest cancer meeting, the American Society of Clinical Oncology conference in Chicago: Janssen Biotech’s Zytiga improved survival and delayed cancer growth for 18 months when added to standard care in a study of 1,200 men with advanced prostate cancer. The drug is approved to treat tumors that are resistant to hormone therapy; this study tested it as an initial treatment. More in Cancer The study was stopped early because men on Zytiga were living longer — 66 percent were alive after three years versus 49 percent of a comparison group not given the drug. Zytiga also delayed the time until cancer worsened — 33 months versus 15 months for the others. In a second study of 1,900 men newly diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, adding Zytiga to usual treatment also improved survival: 83 percent were alive at three years versus 76 percent of men not given the drug. Zytiga also cut the chance of relapse and serious bone problems. Zytiga caused more side...

(AP) MUMBAI, India – For the last week, the laughter around Sheetal Talao pond in suburban Mumbai has taken on a muzzled quality. On June 18, Mumbai’s high court told police to do something about the laughter that erupted beneath Vinayak Shirsat’s windows each morning, causing his family “mental agony, pain and public nuisance,” according to the Press Trust of India. Since then, members of the Sheetal Jogging Association — who have been coming to the pond for 경주출장만남 three years for laughter yoga, devotional singing and light exercise — have been trying to contain their mirth. “Nobody’s laughing now,” said member Badruddin Khan. Watch: Laughter Yoga Sheetal Talao is, in truth, not a nice pond. The water is low and scuzzy with trash. But it’s the only open space in a neighborhood of winding lanes in the northern suburbs of India’s densely packed financial capital. The single spot of constant shade — a small gazebo — is right in front of Shirsat’s apartment, a three-story pink building with black bars on all the windows. Nearby are two curved benches, rising from a small plot of red mud and weeds, that the club uses for meditation and laughter. “Only this much space we’ve got. Where can we go?” said Prabhakar Naidu, 45, who said that since he started laughing he’s been able to walk up stairs without getting winded....

When it comes to flying or rowing, Prince William and Catherine like to turn up the friendly competition — and although they are now husband and wife, it doesn’t mean either one will back down. The royal couple is visiting Canada’s Northwest Territory, not too far from Alaska. They got a big welcome last night in the small town of Yellowknife. After a full day on Prince Edward Island, which is thousands of miles to the east, even the rain couldn’t dampen everybody’s spirits there. William and Kate are used to a little precipitation where they come from, CBS News Royal Contributor 온라인카지노 Victoria Arbiter remarked to “Early Show” co-anchor Erica Hill. “They felt right at home!” she said. “Kate even declined an umbrella at one point, so that’s how normal it felt.” Pictures: William and Kate continue through Canada Pictures: William and Kate’s Canada Day The couple had a jam-packed day yesterday, and the highlights included “water birding,” which was William landing a helicopter on the water, and a dragon boat race.

We saw a much less formal, much more relaxed side to the couple,” Arbiter said. “William specifically requested to go water birding. It’s an art form that the Canadian air force has perfected, and you...
