Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

doctors further said that once the results where back on the charts it showed a beneficial effect.
I assumed their charts were showing real numbers and their numbers were imaginary.
It's the second major medical breathrough this week. If they both turned out true, that would be incredible.
What was the other one?
I think it was a promising treatment for type 2 diabetes.
Effectively a cure for Diabetes I believe
Lung cancer killed my pet and I imagine it killed many other people's pets too. Cancer also killed some of my other pets.
I don't normally comment on news posts, but in this instance, FUCK CANCER
Fuck cancer for stealing my brother from me, and for taking half my bf's lung
I seriously hopes this works for everyone out there living with this disease, and for their families, friends, the people who love them....
.....and also for everyone who has died too soon and missed their chance for survival. Their donation of tissue samples and furthering the cancer research that ultimately wouldn't help them, but will help the poor bastards that are diagnosed today and in the future...It is bitter sweet
Fuck cancer
Fuck cancer all the way. Every step further in stopping it is a win. And this seems like it might be a particularly great step.
That's awesome to hear, but I'm sure it'll be unaffordable for many—if not most—people who need it... at least in the US. :(
It's great news for Europe, though! I'm glad for them.
So... smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Well that's a hilarious tinfoil hat theory- that lung-cancer-fighting drugs are financed by Big Tobacco as a way for them to sell more cigarettes.
And honestly, is there anything more late-stage capitalism than "who cares if this activity causes you cancer; you can just take a pill to make it go away!"
-The above post was brought to you by Lucky Strikes, the cigarette that causes the most treatable form of cancer!
Smoking can also cause cancer in the larynx, mouth, pharynx, esophagus, pancreas, bladder, stomach, colon, rectum, liver, cervix, kidney, and blood. It's by no means a free pass.
I know, I was kidding. It's an old phrase from WWII.
Yes, I'm familiar with its origin.
Pfizer to the moon!
Fuck yes.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Doctors are hailing “off the chart” trial results that show a new drug stopped lung cancer advancing for longer than any other treatment in medical history.
The results are the longest progression-free survival (PFS) outcomes ever recorded in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, the world’s most common form of the disease.
“To our knowledge these results are unprecedented,” said the study’s lead author, Dr Benjamin Solomon, a medical oncologist at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia.
“You don’t need a magnifying glass to see the difference between these two drugs,” said Dr Julie Gralow, Asco’s chief medical officer.
Dr David Spigel, the chief scientific officer of the Sarah Cannon Research Institute in London, a world-leading clinical trials facility specialising in new therapies for cancer patients, welcomed the findings.
“Showcasing the power of cancer-growth blocker drugs, this study could present us with an effective way of stopping cancer in its tracks and preventing it from spreading to the brain.
