The Royal Marsden welcomes the decision to make the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab available for use on the NHS for patients with locally advanced cervical cancers.
Pembrolizumab, combined with chemoradiotherapy, has been shown to increase the length of time thatpeople have their cancer controlled and how long they live compared with chemoradiotherapy alone.
The Royal Marsden was one of two UK centres that trialled the drug as part of the KEYNOTE-A18 study.
Trial results showed increased survival rates amongst cervical cancer patients when compared to chemotherapy alone
"I am proud to have been involved in the Keynote-A18 trial in the UK and at The Royal Marsden," says Dr Susan Lalondrelle, Consultant Clinical Oncologist at The Royal Marsden and UK primary investigator on the study.
"Most importantly, we are now seeing the results translate into real benefit for patients, with pembrolizumab improving outcomes and offering new hope for women with locally advanced cervical cancer."
Evidence from KEYNOTE-A18 showed that at 24 months, progression-free survival for patients was 68 per cent with pembrolizumab and chemoradiotherapy versus 57 per cent with chemoradiotherapy alone.
Results also showed that at 36 months, survival rates were 82.6 per cent with pembrolizumab and chemoradiotherapy compared with 74.8 per cent with chemoradiotherapy alone.
Following a recommendation by the National Institute for Health and Social Care Excellence (NICE), the treatment will be available for patients with stages 3 to 4 locally advanced cervical cancer.
'The main reason I joined the trial was to help others'
Louise Broadbelt, 55, joined KEYNOTE-A18 shortly after being diagnosed at The Royal Marsden in September 2021. She continues to undergo monitoring but is currently not receiving treatment, with scans showing no evidence of the disease.
"I decided to take part in the trial after discussing it with my consultant, Susan Lalondrelle," shares Louise. "She explained that if I received the treatment, it could potentially help me, and she also pointed out that by participating I would be helping future patients if the treatment proved successful.
"That really resonated with me. As soon as she said that, I knew I wanted to take part. I wanted to do whatever I could to help other people in the future.
"Clinical trials are vital because they help researchers understand whether new treatments work, and even if a trial doesn't directly benefit the individual taking part, it can still make a huge difference for future patients.
"The main reason I joined the trial was to help others. To see that research progressing and potentially becoming available to more patients is amazing, and I'm proud to have played a small part in that journey."

SACRAMENTO, California, June 26 -- The Foundation for California Community Colleges issued the following news:

Building Stronger Pathways for California's Student Veterans
Veterans, educators, policymakers, and community leaders gathered to explore innovative strategies for expanding educational opportunities and strengthening support systems for California's veteran and military-connected students as they transition from military service to higher education and the workforce at the 13th Annual California Community Colleges Veterans Summit (Opens in a new window) in Indian Wells.
Ledby the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office (Opens in a new window) and supported by the Foundation for California Community Colleges (FoundationCCC), the theme of this year's summit, held from June 15-17, 2026, was Desert Muster: Refresh, Realign, Reimagine.
"Often, the brave men and women who served our country are the ones left behind in higher education. The Veterans Summit brings together program experts to ensure veterans can access college, receive support navigating their military benefits, and find pathways to successful civilian careers with sustainable wages. Many of the professionals who lead Veterans Resource Centers on community college campuses are veterans themselves and understand the unique journey of student veterans. Sometimes it can be difficult for those who have experienced deployment and military service to ask for help in the classroom. That is why we are here, to ensure they have the support and resources they need to succeed," said Manuel Baca, Board Member, FoundationCCC, and Co-Founder, Veterans Summit.
Baca understands the student veteran experience firsthand. A former U.S. Marine and graduate and professor emeritus of political science at Rio Hondo College (Opens in a new window), he has dedicated his career to building stronger support networks for veterans pursuing higher education. As a member of the California Community Colleges Board of Governors and Co-Chair of the Veterans Committee, Baca ensured funding and direction to increase CCC veterans resource centers from approximately eight in 2009 to more than 90 statewide.
Throughout the three-day symposium, attendees from the California Community Colleges, California State University, and University of California systems participated in engaging workshops, keynote presentations from industry experts, and networking opportunities designed to foster collaboration among military service practitioners and advocates. Speakers included education liaison representatives from the United States Department of Veteran Affairs as well as Veterans Specialist Heather McClenahen, and Vice Chancellor Gina Browne from the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office and Dylan Bender, Director of Veterans Services for Irvine Valley College. Sessions focused on sharing best practices, strengthening partnerships, and identifying actionable solutions that support veterans through enrollment, academic achievement, graduation, and workforce transition.
Bender delivered the summit's closing keynote titled, The Warrior Adaptation, and a workshop, Designing the Next Mission: A Model for Veteran Purpose and Future Vision.
"With nearly a million veterans pursuing postsecondary education nationwide, higher education represents one of the greatest opportunities to improve veteran transition outcomes. Colleges are not simply preparing veterans for careers; they are helping them build new identities, relationships, and futures. The work being done across California demonstrates what is possible when veterans are provided intentional support and meaningful connection. The impact extends far beyond graduation." -- Dylan Bender, Director of Veterans Services for Irvine Valley College
FoundationCCC works closely with the Chancellor's Office and partners across the state to provide direct support for military members, veterans, and their families, including emergency financial assistance for first-generation student veterans. With an estimated 1.8 million veterans living in California, many turn to the state's community colleges for affordable, debt-free education and workforce training as they transition to civilian life. Each year, approximately 55,000 veterans, active-duty service members, and military dependents are enrolled in California Community Colleges.

MADISON, Wis., June 25, 2026 -An animal rights student group faces a disciplinary investigation at the University of Wisconsin-Madison after hanging fliers critical of a local dog breeder -an act that university officials are preposterously claiming encourages "criminal activity."
But UW-Madison is a public university bound by the First Amendment, and the Foundation forIndividual Rights and Expression and the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project are demanding that the university immediately end its investigation.
"Our university is treating us like criminals simply because we posted fliers about a dog rescue," said Jackson Ray, the president of the Animal Advocacy student club. "The whole point of a student group is to share our beliefs with others and advocate for a good cause, and we have a right to speak up on behalf of animals who are suffering."
Ridglan Farms is a Wisconsin breeder of dogs for experimentation. In March, activists entered the facility and allegedly stole a number of beagles, and several activists were arrested and now face burglary charges. A month later, members of UW-Madison's Animal Advocacy student group hung fliers around campus that read, "Help Save 2,000 Beagles, Return to Ridglan Farms, April 19 th, 2026, Scan the QR code or visit savethedogs.io" and featured a photo of two people holding a beagle. The flier also included a QR code directing people to information about the recent dog rescue and suggestions for how people can learn more and get involved.
Ray then received an email from an administrator warning the group that their flier appeared to be "soliciting or encouraging individuals to participate in criminal activity" in violation of Wisconsin state law. She claimed that the reference to "entering" Ridglan Farms and removing dogs from the property promoted "illegal activity."
But the flier did no such thing. It merely asked people to learn more and, if they cared, to show up. It didn't instruct them to commit any crimes or violate the law.
"It isn't illegal to put up a flier on campus, even if its content makes university officials uncomfortable," said FIRE attorney Amanda Nordstrom. "Protests are a powerful way to show up and stand up for the causes we're passionate about, and if participants cross the line and engage in criminal activity, that can be prosecuted. However, inviting people to learn more about an issue and attend a protest is not a crime."
Ray also received an official notice of investigation via email from another administrator. The admin alleged that posting the flier was in violation of Wisconsin's state laws against encouraging burglary and the unauthorized release of animals. The email directed the group to schedule a mandatory investigatory interview and also contained a list of questions about the group's communications and activities.
"As some of the most ardent defenders of campus free speech raise concerns over UW-Madison's disciplinary action against Animal Advocacy, we hope the university will reflect on the broader implications of its investigation, decline to punish students for pure speech, and uphold the historic role of college campuses in protecting student expression," said Steffen Seitz, litigation fellow at the Animal Activist Legal Defense Project at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.
FIRE's letter requests a response from the university by July 9.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression ( FIRE ) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to defending and sustaining the individual rights of all Americans to free speech and free thought -the most essential qualities of liberty. FIRE recognizes that colleges and universities play a vital role in preserving free thought within a free society. To this end, we place a special emphasis on defending the individual rights of students and faculty members on our nation's campuses, including freedom of speech, freedom of association, due process, legal equality, religious liberty, and sanctity of conscience.
The Animal Activist Legal Defense Project at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law works to empower and defend animal advocates through activist defense, affirmative litigation, and training law students to join and transform the field of Animal Law.

In Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, the Supreme Court on June 25 ruled that federal pesticide labeling law blocks certain state-law claims against Monsanto over failure to include a cancer warning on the label of Roundup, a glyphosate-based weedkiller. Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) released the followingstatement in response.
"Today's ruling closes one more courthouse door to people harmed by toxic chemicals in products mass-marketed as safe," said CLF President Brad Campbell. "For New England communities, state laws and state courts are critical backstops when federal protections fall short. At a time when the Trump administration is trying to weaken basic environmental and public health safeguards, this decision moves us in the wrong direction."
In a 7-2 decision, the Court sided with Monsanto in a case brought by John Durnell, a Missouri man who used Roundup for years and later developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Durnell argued that Monsanto should be held responsible under state law because Roundup's label did not warn users about alleged cancer risks. The Court said Monsanto cannot be sued under this kind of state-law claim for leaving off a cancer warning that EPA has not required on Roundup's label.
CLF experts are available for further comment.

Supreme Court ruling for Bayer in Monsanto v. Durnell limits state-law cancer-warning lawsuits against pesticide manufacturers by holding that federal pesticide-labeling law preempts certain failure-to-warn claims -preventing states from protecting their own citizens
EL CERRITO, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 25, 2026 - The U.S. Supreme Courttoday ruled in favor of Bayer in Monsanto v. Durnell, holding that federal pesticide labeling requirements of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), preempts state law failure-to-warn lawsuits about Roundup's glyphosate-related cancer risks. The decision significantly limits the ability of states to protect their citizens and injured consumers to seek relief when manufacturers fail to warn about emerging health risks from federally registered pesticides.
This decision effectively elevates EPA's labeling determinations above state-law protections that have historically served as a complementary safeguard. EPA's registration process was designed to operate as a floor alongside state health protection authority and private litigation, not to displace them. State law claims have long functioned as an important source of information about emerging risks and as an incentive for manufacturers to update disclosures when new evidence becomes available.
This decision wipes out thousands of pending claims, jeopardizes Bayer's proposed $7.25 billion class settlement for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma claims, and establishes that pesticide manufacturers can avoid accountability so long as EPA has approved a label, even where the product contains harmful chemicals and fails to warn users of its effects.
The ruling comes as a growing body of scientific research links glyphosate to cancer and other chronic diseases, and as new evidence shows that cancer rates are rising among young people across the U.S. Corn Belt.
"Today's decision rewards a company that has spent years lobbying to weaken pesticide oversight," said Danielle Fugere, President and Chief Counsel of As You Sow. "State failure-to-warn claims were one of the last meaningful checks on pesticide safety in this country. Eliminating these warnings prevents states from protecting their own citizens and leaves consumers, farmworkers, and communities with little recourse to protect themselves from health harms associated with these pesticides."
Fugere added, "Bayer claims that legal costs of glyphosate cases are threatening its ability to sell glyphosate in the U.S., but the legal costs are self-imposed. It has failed to warn. The solution is not to prevent those who have been harmed by glyphosate products from seeking compensation in court, but to provide a warning on its product to help prevent the harm in the first place. This is the crux of the issue. People being harmed must matter; states' ability to require warnings to protect citizens from harmful products is a critical right, especially where the federal government fails to do so."
That concern was reflected in the Supreme Court's unanimous Bates v. Dow Agrosciences decision, in which the Supreme Court held that "FIFRA contemplates that pesticide labels will evolve over time" and that "tort suits can serve as a catalyst in this process."
Bayer's central legal theory in the case was that it would have been impossible to add a cancer warning to Roundup without EPA approval. However, Congress expressly preserved a role for state-law remedies in the legislation, describing EPA's registration as only prima facie evidence of compliance rather than conclusive proof that a label adequately warns of all risks.
Today's ruling marks a major shift. By extending federal preemption to bar state-law warning claims, the Court has narrowed the role states may play in addressing deficiencies in pesticide labeling and shifted greater responsibility for consumer protection to federal regulators at a time when federal regulators are dramatically walking back or eliminating health and environmental standards.
As You S ow's 2026 Pesticides in the Pantry scorecard revealed that many food companies are now actively retreating from pesticide disclosure and reduction policies. Companies that previously provided pesticide disclosures and/or actions -including General Mills, ADM, and Conagra -have since dismantled those commitments.
As You Sow, a shareholder representative group, has filed shareholder resolutions related to pesticide risk for over a decade at General Mills, PepsiCo, ADM, Conagra, Campbell's, Post Holdings, B&G Foods, J.M. Smucker, Kraft Heinz, Monsanto, and DuPont, asking companies to measure, disclose, and reduce pesticide risk in their supply chains.
"With the state courts now closed to injured consumers and EPA looking the other way, investors are among the last remaining checks on corporate pesticide accountability," said Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow." The underlying scientific, reputational, and financial risks of glyphosate have not changed, only States' ability to protect their citizens has."
As You Sow is the nation's leading shareholder representative, with a 30+ year track record promoting environmental and social corporate responsibility. As You Sow addresses a range of issues that affect shareholder value including climate change, ocean plastics, toxins in the food system, biodiversity, racial justice, and workplace diversity.

Sen. Tuberville mistakes religious privilege for religious freedom
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., has recently bad-mouthed the Freedom From Religion Foundation's criticism of the Auburn University baseball team coach leading players in prayer and the inclusion of crosses and the phrase "Jesus won" on team gear. FFRF Co-Presidents Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor have released the following statement in response:
Sen. Tuberville's comments demonstrate a fundamental misunderstandingof both the Constitution and FFRF's mission. The First Amendment protects every American's right to practice their religion -- or no religion at all -- free from government coercion. It does not permit public university employees to use their official positions to promote Christianity to student-athletes.
FFRF has never objected to private religious expression by Auburn players, coaches or anyone else. What we object to is a public university baseball program using its official authority to organize team prayer and promote sectarian religious messages through university-sponsored athletics. Student-athletes come from a variety of religious backgrounds -- and public university officials have a duty to respect that diversity rather than use their positions to advance a particular faith. Student-athletes should never be made to feel that participation on a public university team requires conformity to a coach's religious beliefs.
Sen. Tuberville is also mistaken when he claims the United States was founded on "freedom of religion, not freedom from religion." The Founders deliberately rejected religious establishments and created a secular Constitution that guarantees freedom of conscience for believers and nonbelievers alike. Religious freedom necessarily includes freedom from government-imposed religion.
As for the accusation that FFRF "hates God and America," such rhetoric is as tired as it is false. FFRF's members include patriotic Americans from every walk of life who are dedicated to defending the constitutional principle of church-state separation. We will continue standing up for the rights of all students, including Auburn's Christian students, to make their own religious choices free from pressure by government officials.
The issue here is not whether Auburn players may pray or otherwise express their faith. They absolutely may. The issue is whether public university employees may use their positions of authority to promote Christianity through official team activities. The Constitution's answer is: No.
Religious freedom means every student gets to decide for themselves what to believe. It does not mean government officials get to decide for them.
* * *
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, the largest association of freethinkers (atheists, agnostics and humanists) in North America, is a national nonprofit organization with about 41,000 members nationwide, including hundreds of members in Alabama. FFRF's purposes are to defend the constitutional principle of separation between church and state, and to educate the public on matters relating to nontheism.

WASHINGTON, June 25 [Category: Computer Technology]-- The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation posted the following news release:
* * *
EU's Designation of AWS and Azure as Core Platform Services Escalates Weaponization of Digital Markets Act, Says ITIF
*
Following the European Commission's preliminary determination that Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure (Azure) should be designated as core platform services under the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), the leading think tank for science and technology policy, releasedthe following statement from Joseph V. Coniglio, senior counsel and director of antitrust and innovation:
The Commission's preliminary determination is unjustified. Neither AWS nor Azure meets the DMA's user requirements that nearly every other designated core platform service satisfied. Instead, the Commission decided to stretch its authority by relying on more subjective criteria in a transparent effort to bring cloud infrastructure under the DMA's purview.
Neither firm is dominant in the dynamic and growing cloud services market, which the EU should want to flourish, not stifle with regulation. Indeed, both firms face intense competition from Google, CoreWeave, Oracle, IBM, as well as many other small but active and expanding players.
Today's news merely reflects the next chapter in the DMA's clear pattern of targeting America's leading digital firms. Should AWS and Azure be designated, 92% of the DMA's core platform services with be offered by U.S. technology companies. By contrast, only one is European.
The continued weaponization of the DMA by the Commission will only increase calls for U.S. policymakers to retaliate, including through measures under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act -an unfortunate but increasingly justified response unless the DMA is radically scaled back.
To avoid adding fuel to the fire during an already turbulent period in transatlantic relations, and at a time when U.S.-EU cooperation to counter China could not be more important, the Commission must abandon its effort to expand the DMA to cloud services and end its ongoing targeting of America's leading technology firms.
