Sunday, October 1, 2023

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- "During this spending battle, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives squandered a chance to address one of the nation's most pressing crises—our dangerously out-of-control borders. The Continuing Resolution (CR), which was offered on the floor Friday, included many of the spending cuts conservative Republicans were demanding and it included strong policy changes that would have reversed the Biden administration's open-borders policies.  Yet, nearly two dozen House Republicans voted against it. 

Key Points: 
  • In doing so, the Republicans who blocked Friday's CR proposal allowed the perfect to become the enemy of the good.
  • The status quo is not acceptable, and only policy changes will avert the crisis that the American people and communities across the country see today.
  • "Congress' failure to act in the face of this raging border crisis and humanitarian disaster is unconscionable.
  • "What took place over the last few days was a missed opportunity to address a full-fledged crisis.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- USA News Group - The seriousness of pancreatic cancer continues to grow, with increasing alarm since The Lancet published an analysis back in April 2023, showing a rising incidence of pancreatic cancer among individuals younger than 55 years. Another study published in JAMA Network Open showed that early-onset cancer in people younger than 50 rose over the last decade, with gastrointestinal cancers seeing the fastest increase. This has led to increased calls from pancreatic cancer organizations such as Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) for more action in the space, including advocating that the US Congress invest more in cancer research funding now. Among the ongoing efforts that are drawing more attention in the pancreatic cancer space have been the developments coming from Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Merus N.V. (NASDAQ: MRUS), Guardant Health, Inc. (NASDAQ: GH), Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), and even NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA).

Key Points: 
  • This has led to increased calls from pancreatic cancer organizations such as Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) for more action in the space, including advocating that the US Congress invest more in cancer research funding now.
  • "By teaming up with PanCAN, we believe we may be able to expedite development and provide pancreatic cancer patients with a bespoke immunotherapeutic treatment option."
  • Pelareorep delivered the company a big win near the end of 2022, when the FDA rewarded it with a Fast Track Designation (FTD) for treating advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer.
  • "With a five-year survival rate of 12%, pancreatic cancer patients cannot afford to wait for new treatment options," said Julie Fleshman, JD, MBA, President and CEO of PanCAN.
