NEW: HHS Secretary RFK Jr. appointed Yale professor emeritus Harvey Risch as chair of the President’s Cancer Panel within the National Cancer Institute.
Risch told Just the News-Real America’s Voice that he wants rigorous studies on ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine as potential cancer treatments, noting anecdotal reports but emphasizing the need for formal evaluation to determine efficacy.
Risch cautioned against overpromising, stating cancer is highly treatable with 50 years of research, and highlighted prevention’s underappreciated role.
He suggested pharmaceutical companies develop safe, low-cost prevention medications they could patent.
“It’s a question of … being able to sort the fringe from the real” when it comes to evaluating emerging and alternative treatments, Risch said. The only way to vet the “whole industry of purported claims about medications and supplements,” which should be approached “with a skeptical eye,” is through “more formal evaluation.”
Risch wants to enhance public information on reducing cancer risks, noting tobacco smoking as the top preventable lifestyle factor, and emerging dietary links like inflammatory foods.
He ranked cooking oils by inflammatory potential on social media, recommending better options.
Stomach cancers associate with smoked and processed meats.
