Experts discuss why and how to navigate information overload and counter misinformation so that people with cancer can make well-informed decisions about their care. WASHINGTON , Dec. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Comprehensive Cancer Network ® (NCCN ® )—a non-profit alliance of leading cancer centers—hosted a Patient Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C. , today. The annual event brings together leading experts to promote strategies and best practices for improving cancer care. This year's summit focused on practice and policy solutions for sharing accurate, evidence-based health information with patients and caregivers. It featured a keynote address from W. Kimryn Rathmell, MD, PhD, MMHC, Director of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) , along with panel discussions that included Robin Vanderpool , DrPH, Chief of the NCI's Health Communication and Informatics Research Branch . "When people with cancer are empowered to make informed choices about their care, they tend to have better outcomes," said Crystal S. Denlinger , MD, Chief Executive Officer, NCCN , who welcomed attendees at the start of the program. "That means we must provide patients with clear, trustworthy information that meets them where they are. For example, the NCCN Guidelines for Patients offer plain-language explanations of the latest evidence-based recommendations. They feature expert guidance on most cancer types, along with prevention, screening, and supportive care. We share them in multiple languages and formats, including books and webinars." "Every person facing cancer needs and deserves high-quality information to understand their options and guide their decisions. The National Cancer Institute, NCCN, and other organizations represented at the summit contribute to a complex information landscape to meet the needs of people with cancer," said Dr. Rathmell. "Trust in the cancer research enterprise is essential to ensuring that scientific progress includes and reflects the diversity of patient experiences and providing reliable health information is a key aspect of earning and honoring that trust." During a series of Best Practices Presentations for sharing patient-centered health information, NCCN's Senior Director of Patient Information Operations, Dorothy Shead , explained that the NCCN Guidelines for Patients ® are available for free at NCCN.org/patientguidelines or via the NCCN Patient Guides for Cancer App —thanks to funding via the NCCN Foundation ® . Additional presentations came from spokespeople for We Engage 4 Health, HPV Cancers Alliance, Cancer Support Community, and the Frontier & Rural Patient Navigators at the University of Utah Huntsman Cancer Institute. More information can be found in a new resource toolkit at NCCN.org/patient-advocacy-resources . Preventing the spread of misinformation Speakers underscored the need to identify and debunk any myths that can create misunderstanding and a false sense of security. They discussed the importance of working with trusted messengers to counter misinformation. "A key lesson learned from COVID-19 was the importance of having trusted professional and community advocates address misinformation and disinformation," noted Martha Dawson , DNP, RN, FAAN, FACHE , Immediate Past President, National Black Nurses Association . "Diverse researchers, scientists, policymakers, faith-based leaders, and community advocates with similar lived experiences can serve as sources of trusted information. It is important to support and expand cancer education at the community level and engage with people where they are born, live, work, play, worship and transition life." "Misinformation in cancer care can create confusion, delay treatment, and undermine trust between patients and providers. By addressing these challenges head-on, we can empower patients with accurate, accessible information to make informed decisions about their health," agreed Skyler Johnson , MD, Professor, Department of Radiation Oncology, Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah . "Effective communication is at the heart of quality cancer care. We need to equip clinicians and patients with the tools and strategies to counter misinformation, foster trust, and work together through an increasingly complex healthcare landscape." Clear and consistent messaging to build trust A recurring theme throughout the discussions was the importance of clear and consistent health messaging that is delivered in a way everyone can understand. That means keeping in mind inclusive technology and supportive health literacy levels. Speakers cautioned against using too much medical jargon, instead focusing on language that can resonate. They also noted that it can be hard to retain information right after learning you or a loved one has cancer, so careful repetition can be key. Speakers also reiterated how crucial it is to build trust with each patient through open and honest two-way relationships. "As a survivor and caregiver, I've seen firsthand the impact that clear and culturally-relevant care discussions can have for patients and their families," explained Randi Ervin , Survivor/Advocate, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) . "Compassionate, empathetic, and relatable communication—delivered at the right time—can make a difficult journey feel a little more manageable for families like mine." Bryce Reeve , PhD, Professor, Population Health Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine, commented: "As a health care system, we have a responsibility to ensure that every individual with cancer has a voice in their care. This is especially important for young children and individuals from marginalized communities whose values, perceptions, and experiences have often been overlooked." "Regardless of our affiliations, whether it be community healthcare, academic medicine, the federal government, or the nonprofit sector, it is critical for us to recognize the richness of collaborating with non-science/healthcare community members to address challenges such as health misinformation and equitable clinical trial participation," concluded Arnethea Sutton, PhD, Interim Assistant Director of Community Outreach and Engagement, VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center . "Not only will these collaborations contribute to trust-building amongst all partners, but the richness of diverse thought and perspectives will contribute to the translation of science and ultimately equitable outcomes for all."

Pittsburgh quarterback Eli Holstein was carted off the field with 5:32 left in the first quarter with an apparent left ankle injury during Saturday's Atlantic Coast Conference game against host Louisville. The freshman was sacked at the Panthers' 49-yard line by Louisville's Ashton Gillotte, who rolled on the quarterback's ankle. Holstein was in a walking boot as he was helped to the cart. Holstein missed last week's game against Clemson after suffering a head injury in the loss to Virginia two weeks ago. Holstein was 3-for-5 passing for 51 yards and an interception before exiting. Nate Yarnell, who threw for 350 yards in the loss to Clemson, replaced Holstein. --Field Level Media
The Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum (PDP-GF) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of manipulation of the recent Edo State governorship election, describing it as a “rape of democracy.” The governors, in a meeting held at the Plateau State Government House in Jos, Plateau State on Saturday and chaired by Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, issued a resolution that called for urgent reforms to safeguard the sanctity of the electoral process in Nigeria. The meeting was attended by key figures from across the party, including members of the National Working Committee (NWC), the Board of Trustees (BOT), the National Assembly Forum, Former Governors’ Forum, Former Ministers’ Forum, and other prominent party leaders. In a communique released after the meeting, they strongly condemned the alleged Edo election manipulation in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC), despite the PDP candidate, Asue Ighodalo, winning the majority of lawful votes. The governors urged the judiciary to act decisively to protect Nigerian democracy, calling for legal interventions to reverse any electoral outcomes that were the result of “institutional sabotage.” They also called on the National Assembly to review Nigeria’s electoral laws to prevent such manipulation in the future, urging a reform of the electoral system to ensure that the will of the people is upheld. “The Forum notes with concern the rape of democracy in Edo Governorship elections. It is clear to everyone with conscience that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) manipulated results in favour of the APC candidate when in fact majority of lawful votes were won by the PDP candidate, Mr. Asue Ighodalo,” the PDP governors said. “The Forum calls on the judiciary to save Nigerian democracy and the National Assembly to look into our electoral laws to make it difficult for institutional sabotage of the will of the people,” the communique added. It revealed that the governors are still examining the documents in Ondo Elections governorship election “where the APC manipulated results after openly buying votes.” The Forum expressed deep concerns about what it described as “seeming divisions” within the party. However, it reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining unity and cohesion within the PDP, stating its determination to uphold the party’s role as the best platform for democratic governance in Nigeria. The governors also acknowledged the internal challenges faced by the party, including leadership disputes and ongoing litigations. The PDP governors agreed to postpone the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, originally scheduled for the same date, in solidarity with their colleague who recently lost his wife. The Forum advised the NWC to convene the NEC by the first week of February 2025, following a period of consultations with key stakeholders. The resolution was made with a focus on addressing the party’s existential issues and ensuring that the party presents a united front going into the 2025 general elections. “Between November and February, we will address the existential problems confronting the Party, with a deliberate timeline of activities to resolve leadership issues and ongoing litigations,” the Forum noted. The PDP governors also expressed serious concern over the economic hardship Nigerians are currently facing, which they attributed to the policies of the APC-led federal government. The Forum called on President Bola Tinubu to urgently review both macroeconomic and fiscal policies to address the welfare and well-being of Nigerians. “The Forum empathizes with Nigerians who are groaning under the oppressive economic hardship foisted on the nation by the policies and decisions of the APC-led Federal Government,” the communique read. “We call on President Bola Tinubu to urgently review these policies to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians and to provide hope for a better future.” Despite the challenges facing Nigeria, the Forum reaffirmed the PDP’s commitment to the country’s development. The governors promised to continue implementing policies that would help alleviate economic hardship and promote national progress. They also expressed gratitude to the government and people of Plateau State for hosting the meeting, highlighting the state’s visible progress in areas such as social services, tourism, and transportation. “We commend the Government of Plateau State for its visible and laudable transformation in social services, tourism, and transportation,” the statement said. “We believe this progress gives Nigerians hope for a brighter future under the leadership of the PDP after 2027.” The Forum expressed empathy for Governor Eno Bassey of Akwa Ibom State, who had recently lost his wife, extending its condolences to him and his family, praying for strength and fortitude during this difficult time. The Forum also extended its condolences to Plateau and Jigawa States over recent tragedies. The PDP governors expressed their sympathies for the devastating fire at the Katako Market in Plateau, which destroyed millions of Naira worth of property. The PDP governors commiserated with Jigawa State following the tragic tanker explosion that claimed many lives and left several others injured.

Sweden released a new pamphlet for citizens this week with survival tips in case the country ever goes to war. The government-issued publication covers topics like how to stop bleeding, the difference between various emergency sirens, and what food should be stockpiled. Given the fact that Sweden just joined NATO this year, the advice is more relevant than ever as Russia’s war against Ukraine continues and Vladimir Putin continues to threaten nuclear strikes against Western countries. But this isn’t the first time Sweden has put out this kind of literature. The country actually has a long history of trying to prepare its population for war with Russia, from pamphlets and educational films to community nuclear shelters much fancier than anything the Americans produced at the height of the Cold War. At one point, it even printed the guides in its phone book. The new pamphlet is available online and titled “In Case of War or Crisis.” It’s distributed by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency and opens with an explanation of its necessity. That all seems pretty straightforward and reasonable here in 2024. But it’s easy to forget there was a period before our current geopolitical hostilities when that kind of language may have seemed unnecessarily alarmist. Because Sweden has a similar pamphlet that was distributed from the middle of World War II until the fall of the Soviet Union. And then it didn’t start producing this kind of pamphlet again until 2018. Launched in 1943, Sweden’s original pamphlet was called “If the War Comes,” published at a time when the country was officially neutral. But the booklet received revisions during the Cold War, when the concern involved both the potential of a Soviet Union invasion of Sweden and the possibility of nuclear war. One of the big messages throughout was the idea that if a foreign army attacked and occupied, the average citizen wasn’t just supposed to give up. There was supposed to be a resistance and that resistance would take the form of whatever small way you could contribute. Sweden approached the idea of civil defense somewhat differently from the U.S. during the height of the Cold War. America had a fierce debate in the early 1960s about whether it was the responsibility of the government to build community fallout shelters and help their citizens prepare. Ultimately, the debate was won by those who believed Americans should be independent and not look to the government. Sweden went the other direction, building extremely nice nuclear bunkers for entire communities . One bunker in Stockholm featured classrooms for students, a theater, and an enormous gymnasium. The bunker was featured in a 1958 film titled “Vi går under jorden,” translated in English as We Go Underground. The Cold War pamphlet wasn’t distributed anymore after the official collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and there really did appear to be a receding threat to Western-aligned countries after the Communist government fell. The political fight between communist and capitalist superpowers was largely over but the first two decades of the 21st century would see the old divisions reemerge. Australia’s SBS TV news channel produced a documentary in 2019 about the ways that Sweden was preparing its citizens for the possibility of war as what might be called the Second Cold War or New Cold War was knocking on the door. Sweden isn’t the only country trying to prepare its citizens for the possibility of a Russian invasion. Finland shares a border with Russia and has always been more alert to the possibility than their Swedish neighbors. And Finland has its own government pamphlets with information about resisting an occupation and reminding people to stock enough food for 20 days. The 2022 invasion of Ukraine changed the perspective of a lot of people, according to a new report from the BBC . Because the idea of Russia invading a foreign country seemed largely theoretical to so many younger people until very recently. “From the Finnish perspective, this is a bit strange,” Ilmari Kaihko, associate professor of war studies at the Swedish Defense University who’s originally from Finland told the BBC . “[Finland] never forgot that war is a possibility, whereas in Sweden, people had to be shaken up a bit to understand that this can actually happen.” The New Cold War is here and people are trying to stay prepared for the worst as best they can. But nobody knows what the future holds, especially as traditional geopolitical allies seem ripe for disruption in the second presidency of Donald Trump. The president-elect has shown himself to be devoid of any real ideology beyond whatever helps him personally. The U.S. could just as easily be exiting NATO or building up new support for NATO allies, depending on who offers Trump the best deal in the coming months and years. And that kind of instability is not great for Americans, to say the least.Awards season has arrived in the form of the Golden Globes nominations. The awards, which honor both movies and television programs, is often viewed as a preview of the upcoming Oscars. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz go over the list, focusing largely on the movies, which tend to shine brightest at the ceremony. But they also take time to review a few of the TV shows, including the great, but rarely funny "The Bear," which is again in the comedy or musical category. We also have an interview with "Nickel Boys" director RaMell Ross, who spoke with Miller prior to the film receiving a nomination for best drama. Miller also talked with Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, who starred in the film. “Wicked”; “Anora”; “Emilia Perez”; “Challengers”; “A Real Pain”; “The Substance” “The Brutalist”; “A Complete Unknown,”; “Conclave”; “Dune: Part Two”; “Nickel Boys;” “September 5” Jesse Eisenberg, “A Real Pain”; Hugh Grant, “Heretic”; Gabriel LaBelle, “Saturday Night; Jesse Plemons, “Kinds of Kindness”’ Glen Powell, “Hitman”; Sebastian Stan, “A Different Man” Amy Adams, “Nightbitch”; Cynthia Erivo, “Wicked”; Karla Sofia Gascón, “Emilia Pérez”; Mikey Madison “Anora”; Demi Moore, “The Substance”; Zendaya, “Challengers” Pamela Anderson, “The Last Showgirl′′; Angelina Jolie, ”Maria”; Nicole Kidman, “Babygirl”; Tilda Swinton, “The Room Next Door”; Fernanda Torres, “I’m Still Here”; Kate Winslet, “Lee” Adrien Brody, “The Brutalist”; Timothée Chalamet, “A Complete Unknown’; Colman Domingo, “Sing Sing”; Ralph Fiennes, “Conclave”; Sebastian Stan, “The Apprentice’’ “Alien: Romulus”; Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”; Deadpool & Wolverine”; “Gladiator II”; “Inside Out 2”; “Twisters”; “Wicked”; “The Wild Robot” “All We Imagine As Light′′; ”Emilia Pérez”; “The Girl With the Needle”; “I’m Still Here”; “The Seed of the Sacred Fig”; “Vermiglio” “Flow”; “Inside Out 2”; “Memoir of a Snail”; “Moana 2”; “Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl”; “The Wild Robot” Selena Gomez, ”Emilia Pérez”; Ariana Grande, “Wicked”; Felicity Jones, “The Brutalist”; Margaret Qualley, “The Substance”; Isabella Rossellini, “Conclave”; Zoe Saldaña, ”Emilia Pérez” Yura Borisov, “Anora”; Kieran Culkin, “A Real Pain”; Edward Norton, “A Complete Unknown”; Guy Pearce, “The Brutalist”; Jeremy Strong, ”The Apprentice”; Denzel Washington, “Gladiator II” Jacques Audiard, “Emilia Pérez”; Sean Baker, ”Anora”; Edward Berger, “Conclave”; Brady Corbet, “The Brutalist”; Coralie Fargeat, “The Substance”; Payal Kapadia, “All We Imagine As Light” Jacques Audiard, “Emilia Pérez”; Sean Baker, ”Anora”; Brady Corbet, Mona Fastvold, “The Brutalist”; Jesse Eisenberg, “A Real Pain”; Coralie Fargeat, “The Substance”; Peter Straughan, “Conclave” Volker Bertelmann, “Conclave”; Daniel Blumberg, “The Brutalist”; Kris Bowers, “The Wild Robot”; Clement Ducol, Camille “Emilia Pérez”; Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, “Challengers”; Hans Zimmer, “Dune: Part Two” “Beautiful That Way” from “The Last Showgirl” (music/lyrics by Andrew Wyatt, Miley Cyrus, Lykke Zachrisson); “Compress/Repress” from “Challengers’ (music/lyrics by Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Luca Guadagnino; “El Mal” from EL MAL” from “Emilia Pérez” (music/lyrics by Clément Ducol, Camille, Jacques Audiard; “Forbidden Road” from ”Better Man′′ (music/lyrics by Robbie Williams, Freddy Wexler, Sacha Skarbek); “Kiss the Sky” from “The Wild Robot′′ (music/lyrics by Delacey, Jordan K.

Women and LGBTQ+ people take up guns after Trump’s win: ‘We need to protect ourselves’I’m A Celebrity fans question ITV’s ‘duty of care’ after Ant and Dec make shocking revelation
OTTAWA—Weeks of speculation over how a lengthy impasse in the House of Commons would be halted to address critical parliamentary business ended Monday, when Speaker Greg Fergus intervened to pause the standoff. In a rare move, Fergus delivered a ruling in the lower chamber that temporarily suspended the stalemate, allowing for both the Conservatives and the New Democrats to control the parliamentary agenda for four days, and for MPs to greenlight $21.6 billion in proposed spending. The four so-called opposition days, and Ottawa’s supplementary estimates, needed to be dealt with by Dec. 10, which is when the government’s supply period ends. But the chances of that happening had been looking nail-bitingly slim as the calendar flipped to December, and a weeks-long privilege debate in the House of Commons showed no signs of slowing down. Since late September, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives have gummed up most parliamentary proceedings in an effort to compel the Liberal government to cough up unredacted documents tied to a now-defunct green technology funding agency that was riddled with mismanagement issues. Because Fergus had ruled that the issue should take precedence over other parliamentary business, that debate — and a separate privilege motion concerning former Liberal cabinet minister Randy Boissonault’s former business partner — blocked other key parliamentary matters from moving forward. One of those matters is set to be a test of confidence in Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government — and a test for their former governing partners, the NDP. The first opposition motion will hit the Commons floor on Thursday, when the Conservatives will attempt to pressure other opposition parties to declare lost confidence in the Trudeau government. The motion draws on critical language the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh has used in the past to lambaste Trudeau, in an effort to compel the New Democrats to join the Conservatives in toppling the Liberals under the current minority Parliament scenario. That motion is set to be voted on Dec. 9. But that vote will be tangled up in a series of others: the NDP will table an opposition motion of their own later this week, which will go to a vote on the same day. Two other Conservative opposition motions will be dealt with the following day. And by that night – Dec. 10 – billions of dollars in proposed spending for initiatives like military procurement projects, national affordability programs, and aid for Ukraine, will also go to a vote. “Common sense Conservatives are eager to end Canadians’ suffering after nine years of Justin Trudeau and are giving Sellout Jagmeet Singh yet another opportunity to put the people before his pension and vote non-confidence to trigger a carbon tax election,” Conservative House Leader Andrew Scheer said in a statement late Monday afternoon. The statement contradicted the Conservatives’ decision earlier in the day to vote against Government House Leader Karina Gould’s offer that morning to designate Dec. 2 a Tory opposition day, which would have allowed them to move their motion days earlier. In making his Monday ruling, Fergus referred to a point of order raised by Bloc Québécois MP Alain Therrien, who asked last month what would happen in a hypothetical scenario in which the two privilege matters had not concluded in a timely manner. At the time, Fergus requested that each party’s House leader work together to resolve the impasse on their own. “The discussions do not seem to have been productive,” Fergus said Monday. Debate on the first privilege motion will briefly continue on Dec. 9, before fully resuming after the opposition days and supplementary estimates are handled.
NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street got back to climbing after the latest update on inflation appeared to clear the way for more help for the economy from the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 gained 0.8% Wednesday to break a two-day losing streak and finished just short of its all-time high. Big Tech stocks led the way, which drove the Nasdaq composite up 1.8% to top the 20,000 level for the first time. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged with a dip of 0.2%. Stocks got a boost as expectations built that the Fed will deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes are rising Wednesday after the latest update on inflation appeared to clear the way for more help for the economy from the Federal Reserve . The S&P 500 gained 0.9% and is on track to break its first two-day losing streak in nearly a month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 7 points, or less than 0.1%, as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 1.8% and was heading for a record. Treasury yields edged higher in the bond market as expectations built that Wednesday’s inflation data will allow the Fed to deliver another cut to interest rates at its meeting next week. Traders are betting on a 95% probability of that, according to data from CME Group, up from 89% a day before. If they’re correct, it would be a third straight cut by the Fed after it began lowering rates in September from a two-decade high. It’s hoping to support a slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its 2% target. Lower rates would give a boost to the economy, but they could also provide more fuel for inflation. Wednesday’s report said U.S. consumers paid prices in November that were 2.7% higher than a year earlier. That’s a slight acceleration from October’s inflation rate of 2.6%, but it was exactly what economists were expecting. Another report on inflation at the wholesale level will arrive on Thursday. “The data have given the Fed the ‘all clear’ for next week, and today’s inflation data keep a January cut in active discussion,” according to Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times this year , with the latest coming last week. On Wall Street, Stitch Fix jumped 47.8% after the company that sends clothes to your door reported a smaller loss for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also gave financial forecasts for the current quarter that were better than expected, including for revenue. Albertsons edged down by 0.6% after filing a lawsuit against Kroger, saying it didn’t do enough for their proposed $24.6 billion merger agreement to win regulatory clearance. Albertsons said it’s seeking billions of dollars in damages from Kroger, whose stock rose 0.6%. A day earlier, judges in separate cases in Oregon and Washington nixed the supermarket giants’ merger. The grocers contended a combination could have helped them compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon, but critics said it would hurt competition. After terminating the merger agreement Albertsons said it plans to boost its dividend 25% and increased the size of its program to buy back its own stock. Mondelez, the company behind Oreo and other food brands, climbed 2.2% after announcing a plan to send cash to shareholders by buying back up to $9 billion of its own stock. The program replaces a prior $6 billion plan, which had about $2.8 billion of capacity remaining and would have otherwise expired at the end of next year. On the losing end of Wall Street, Macy’s fell 2.3% after cutting some of its financial forecasts for the full year of 2024, including for how much profit it expects to make off each $1 of revenue. Dave & Buster’s Entertainment sank 18.7% after reporting a worse loss for the latest quarter than expected. It also said CEO Chris Morris has resigned, and the board has been working with an executive-search firm for the last few months to find its next permanent leader. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.27% from 4.23% late Tuesday. The two-year Treasury yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, rose to 4.16% from 4.14%. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was an outlier and slipped 0.8% as Chinese leaders convened an annual planning meeting in Beijing that is expected to set economic policies and growth targets for the coming year. South Korea’s Kospi rose 1%, up for a second straight day as it climbs back following last week’s political turmoil where its president briefly declared martial law. ___ AP Writers Matt Ott and Zimo Zhong contributed.
