Treating prostate cancer

'Prostate cancer can sit dormant for years. -DR. MAHA HUSSAIN, ONCOLOGIST

- BY ALICE PARK

In a statement from his personal office on May 18, former President Joe Biden revealed that he has an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones, and that he and his family are "reviewing treatment options with his physicians."

Once it metastasizes, prostate cancer is generally not curable. But those options could give him a good chance of controlling the cancer, according to experts. Most prostate cancer is fueled by the male hormone testosterone, so the most effective strategies to control it starve the cancer by cutting off its supply. Historically, doctors have removed the testes-the main source of the hormone-but today, pills and injections can suppress testosterone not just in the testes but also in other organs that produce small amounts, like the adrenal glands. Doctors also now add chemotherapy to hormone suppression to better control cancer growth.

Exactly which combinations of treatments are right for Biden will depend on whether his cancer is new or it was previously diagnosed and recently reemerged. Either scenario is possible, say experts.

LIVING IN PUBLIC

“The camera eats first.” A decade ago, that phrase was a joke about influencers and their avocado toast. Now it's shorthand for how every corner of life—dinners, cleaning, milestones, even grief—can be packaged for public consumption. We live in a world where intimacy has become inventory, where the difference between living and posting is often just a matter of lighting.

The food pyramid may be back on the menu

EARLY PUBLIC NUTRITION ADVICE CAME AS A WARNING. Wilbur O. Atwater, a chemist and renowned nutritionist, wrote in an 1902 edition of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) digest, Farmers' Bulletin, that \"Unless care is exercised in selecting food, a diet may result which is one-sided or badly balanced—that is, one in which either protein or fuel ingredients (carbohydrate and fat) are provided in excess ... The evils of overeating may not be felt at once, but sooner or later they are sure to appear.\"

A seductive Dangerous Liaisons remix, with feminist intentions

There are no heroes in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 novel of end-stage French aristocratic decadence. Its chief villain is Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil, a master manipulator who exploits her former lover the Vicomte de Valmont's resurgent desire for her with a wager that dooms them both. As a teenage Fiona Apple dryly noted: “It's a sad, sad world when a girl will break a boy just because she can.”
