Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer Can Save Lives & Increase a Woman's Chance of Survival

Ovarian cancer is a hard to detect form of cancer that forms in a woman's ovary. It commonly results in abnormal cells that have the ability to metastasize to other parts of a woman's body.  When ovarian cancer begins, there may be no or only vague symptoms. Symptoms do become more noticeable as the cancer progresses. These symptoms may include bloating, pelvic pain, abdominal swelling, and loss of appetite, among others. Common areas to which the cancer may spread include the lining of the abdomen, lining of the bowel and bladder, lymph nodes, lungs, and liver.

If ovarian cancer is caught and treated in an early stage, it may be curable. Treatment usually includes some combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Outcomes depend on the extent of the disease and the subtype of the cancer present. The overall five-year survival rate in the United States is 45%.

U.S. Foreign Bribery Penalties Of Tens of Millions of Dollars for Drugmakers Need to Be Increased To Prevent Continued Foreign Corrupt Practices Act Violations

Global drugmakers are paying tens of millions of dollars to settle U.S. allegations that they bribed their way across emerging markets, but harsher penalties may be needed to deter the practice in untapped regions where billions are at stake.

Federal authorities have cast a wide net to weed out suspected gift-giving and kickbacks to foreign doctors and government officials to gain a foothold in burgeoning new markets in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
At least eight of the world's top 10 drugmakers, including Bristol-Myers Squibb Co, Pfizer Inc and Johnson &, have disclosed U.S. probes under the 1977 Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).

Pfizer agreed to pay $60 million this year to settle FCPA charges and J&J reached a $70 million settlement last year. Pfizer is on track to record $10 billion in sales from emerging markets this year, while J&J said Brazil, Russia, India and China accounted for just under 10 percent of the $65 billion in sales it reported last year.

Analysis: U.S. foreign bribery penalties for drugmakers may lack bite | Reuters
