An international phase 3 clinical trial led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center shows that patients with certain locally advanced head and neck cancers benefited from the addition of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (brand name Keytruda) to standard-of-care therapy. Patients who received pembrolizumab saw greater tumor shrinkage prior to surgery and, on average, survived cancer-free almost two years longer than did patients who only received standard-of-care therapy.

On behalf of the American Academy of Nursing, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the Friends of the National Institute of Nursing Research, the National League for Nursing, and the Oncology Nursing Society, we are deeply disturbed by the recent news reported by the Washington Post and other outlets that the Trump Administration is proposing devastating budget cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) along with further restructuring of the agencies within HHS. While our organizations recognize that this proposal is not final and still needs to move through processes at the White House and within the Office of Management and Budget, the significance of cutting this vital health department by $40 billion as reported would be catastrophic to America鈥檚 health and safety.
