A protein that drives growth of pancreatic cancer, and which could be a target for new treatments, has been identified by researchers at the Crick. The study, published in Nature Cell Biolog... Read more
Unlike many other cancers, most pancreatic tumors are rock hard. “That’s one reason why pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal types of cancer,” says Kenneth Olive, PhD, associate profe... Read more
Chemical compound extends survival by months, in mice Pancreatic cancer is especially challenging to treat – only eight percent of patients are still alive five years after diagnosis. Chemot... Read more
The action of a gene called ATDC is required for the development of pancreatic cancer, a new study finds. The work builds on the theory that many cancers arise when adult cells—to resupply c... Read more
Researchers discover unexpected role of an immune system receptor; blocking it halts human cancer cell growth and improves survival in animal models For some cancers, initial treatment with... Read more
Even among cancers, pancreatic cancer is an especially sinister form of disease. The one-year survival rate is extremely low, and treatment progress has lagged behind that of many other mali... Read more
Pancreatic cancer has a grim prognosis. It is usually detected after the disease has spread, and chemotherapy tends to do little to slow the cancer’s growth. Even with treatment, most patien... Read more
Pancreatic cancer is expected to become the second deadliest cancer in the United States by 2030. It is tough to cure because it is usually not discovered until it has reached an advanced st... Read more
A heating and freezing process known as dual thermal ablation can kill pancreatic cancer cells, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University at New York. The collab... Read more
Survival rates in pancreatic cancer linked to inverse correlation between specific oncogene and tumor suppressant A new Tel Aviv University study pinpoints the inverse correlation between a... Read more
Combined blood markers correctly detect early pancreatic cancer in human cancer cells A newly identified biomarker panel could pave the way to earlier detection and better treatment for panc... Read more
A common flu virus could be used to overcome patients’ resistance to certain cancer drugs — and improve how those drugs kill cancer cells, according to new research from Queen Ma... Read more
A new research study has shown that pancreatic cancer cells can be coaxed to revert back toward normal cells by introducing a protein called E47. E47 binds to specific DNA sequences and cont... Read more
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed and tested a vaccine that triggered the growth of immune cell nodules within pancreatic tumors, essentially reprogramming... Read more
