New Drug Offers Hope for Head and Neck Cancer

A groundbreaking new drug, amivantamab, is rewriting the playbook for advanced head and neck cancer—offering hope where none existed before. In trial OrigAMI-4, over 100 patients who’d failed standard treatments saw tumors shrink or vanish, with 15 achieving complete remission. This triple-action drug targets cancer’s fuel, dodges its defenses, and rallies the immune system—all via a simple injection. Real-life impact? One patient, Carl Walsh, went from struggling with tongue cancer to savoring steak again. For HPV-negative cancers, notoriously tough to treat, the median survival jumped to 12.5 months. Experts call it a major leap forward—a beacon of hope for patients with few options left. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Pentagon Fitness Rule for UFC at White House

The Pentagon just dropped a new fitness rule for attending UFC Freedom 250 at the White House—only troops who meet a strict waist-to-height ratio can snag tickets. Secretary Hegseth’s push for military fitness is front and center, with attendees expected to be in peak shape. The event, timed for June 14th on the South Lawn, coincides with President Trump’s 80th birthday and Flag Day, making it a major patriotic spectacle. Even if you’re fit, you’ll foot your own travel bill—and commanders must prioritize junior enlisted members and officers who are true UFC fans. UFC boss Dana White’s pouring in $30 million of his own cash to make it happen, calling it a patriotic gift for America’s 250th anniversary.
