Wal-Mart would also be in a good position to reach the 10 million households in the U.S. that don't use a bank account, says John Caskey, a professor of economics at Swarthmore and expert on the "unbanked...

Garber, a Dana-Farber researcher and associate professor of medicine at HMS, who was not affiliated with the study, explained that the use of hormone therapy on women with ER-sensitive tumors may account for the discrepancy in chemotherapy’s relative effectiveness. “In tumors that depend on hormonal mechanisms to drive them, therapy that targets the hormones has a huge effect. As a result, there is not a lot of room for the added effect of chemo...
