Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men—in 2013, it affected more than 1 million men across the world. The cancer does not behave the same way in every patient, and doctors have long faced a difficult balancing act between identifying patients who will benefit from more intensive treatment and those who may do just as well without it. Treating someone more aggressively than necessary is associated with increased side effects and poorer quality of life. At a major cancer conference in Madrid, a team from University College London unveiled the latest findings from their STAMPEDE clinical trial, which has shown that adding the hormone therapy abiraterone to the standard treatment for men with high-risk, localized prostate cancer could halve the risk of death from the disease and slow overall progression.

At 14 years old, Jack the corgi is struggling with aging. His back legs are wavering, spine is sagging, discs are bulging, and he has trouble standing. To address these challenges and improve his quality of life, Jack’s caregiver turned to veterinary acupuncture. Positive results followed, she told This Morning, a British talk show, “He walks a lot easier. When he’s had this, he goes home and lays down, and he just rolls upside down, legs akimbo; it’s more a relaxed sleep… He even actually plays with his toys a bit more.” These effects dovetail with many seen in other animals undergoing acupuncture—and those results are helping drive the practice into the mainstream.
