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
Wilmot Cancer Institute research team reports that combining a type of radiation therapy with immunotherapy not only cures pancreatic cancer in mice, but appears to reprogram the immune syst... 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
