TEXT 1
Brazilian courts tussle over
unproven cancer treatment
Patients demand access to compound
despite lack of clinical testing.
A court in the Brazilian state of São
Paulo has cut off distribution of a compound
that is hailed by some as a miracle cancer
cure — even though it has never been
formally tested in humans. On 11 November,
to the relief of many cancer researchers, a
state court overturned earlier court orders
that had obliged the nation’s largest
university to provide the compound to
hundreds of people with terminal cancer.
The compound, phosphoethanolamine,
has been shown to kill tumor cells only in lab
dishes and in mice (A. K. Ferreira et al.
Anticancer Res. 32, 95–104; 2012). Drugs
that seem promising in lab and animal
studies have a notoriously high failure rate in
human trials. Despite this, some chemists at
the University of São Paulo’s campus in São
Carlos have manufactured the compound for
years and distributed it to people with
cancer. A few of those patients have claimed
remarkable recoveries, perpetuating the
compound’s reputation as a miracle cure.
The Brazilian constitution guarantees
universal access to health care, and it is
common in Brazil for patients to turn to the
courts to access drugs that the state healthcare
system does not dispense because of
their cost. But phosphoethanolamine
presents a different situation because it is
not really a ‘drug’ at all. It is not approved by
Brazil’s National Health Surveillance Agency.
Those who argue that people who are
terminally ill have a right to try experimental
medicines saw a decision in favor of a patient in October 2015 as a significant
victory. But to the university administration,
drug regulators and cancer researchers, it
showed blatant disregard for the basic
scientific principle that a drug should be
demonstrated to be safe and effective before
being given to patients outside of a clinical
trial.

TEXT 06
The (in)appropriate speaker model?
"Anyone working in the field of English as
a Lingua Franca (henceforth ELF) has to
face sooner rather than later a serious
contradiction: that despite the widespread
acceptance of the extensive role of English
as an international lingua franca and its
increasing number of functions in this
respect, there is still an almost equally
widespread resistance to this lingua franca’s
forms. Given the well-established
sociolinguistic fact that languages are
shaped by their users, and that nowadays
“native speakers are in a minority for
[English] language use” (Brumfit 2001, 116),
it would make sense for English language
teaching to move away from its almost
exclusive focus on native varieties of
English. This suggestion always meets,
however, with strong resistance from many
quarters, and this is particularly so in the
case of accent. The result is that two
particular native speaker English accents,
Received Pronunciation (RP) and General
American (GA), continue to command
special status around the English speaking
world including international/lingua franca
communication contexts where
sociolinguistic common sense indicates that
they are inappropriate and irrelevant."

Mario-Centered Nintendo Land To Open
By Tokyo Olympics
Nintendo Land is set to become the
next highly-anticipated attraction at Universal
Studios Japan, where it is scheduled to
debut by 2020 in time for the Tokyo Summer
Olympics. The recently confirmed $350
million deal was said to mirror the same
large-scale investment that was needed in
building the Harry Potter-themed area of the
park, which opened to the public in July
2014.
