  1. Cancer drug may double as fat-busting treatment for obesity

    Way back in 2002, Dr. Judah Folkman hit upon a tantalizing weight-loss strategy for obese mice. When given daily injections of a drug designed to fight cancer, their fat melted away. The higer the dose they got, the more fat they lost. Some of the obese mice shed so much weight that they wound up at &ldquo;near normal body weights,&rdquo; Folkman and his colleagues reported <a href="http://www.pnas.org/content/99/16/10730.full.pdf">in this article</a> in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Ryan (R-Wis.) is proposing would shift a greater share of the program's growing costs to beneficiaries in the years to come.

  4. New Avastin tests add to confusion over use in breast cancer

    In November, following an emotional public hearing some months earlier, the Food and Drug Administration withdrew approval for the cancer drug Avastin for patients with metastatic breast cancer &mdash; the late-stage, incurable form of the disease. The reason: emerging evidence that the drug does not prolong life and also that it's been linked to serious side effects.
