As far as I can tell the law in CA is that you have to be able to substantiate it with scientific evidence. Granted, I was thinking about statements advertising your services as a doctor, not a drug company. As a drug company, in many environments you still have a right to flat-out state you've got a pill that will cure cancer -- go ahead and say it when giving a talk somewhere. Edit: which is losing the plot a bit, yeah, because you could ask salaries in a different environment too.
