Birth records hold pancreatic cancer clue
Pregnancies in Jerusalem in the 1960s and 1970s may hold vital clues about how pancreatic cancer and diabetes are linked. According to research published in the online open access journal BMC Medicine, women with a history of gestational diabetes had a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer later in life. view more (2007-08-16)
The anti-diabetic effects of sodium tungstate revealed
The molecular mechanisms of tungstate activity in diabetes have been uncovered. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Genomics have identified the pathways through which sodium tungstate improves pancreatic function and beta cell proliferation. view more (2009-08-28)
Type of connection procedure after pancreatic surgery influenced rate of pancreatic fistula
After surgery to remove the head of the pancreas, invagination of the pancreas into the small intestine resulted in a lower rate of pancreatic fistula. view more (2009-05-01)
Peptic ulcer surgery increases the risk of pancreatic cancer
Peptic ulcer surgery seems to increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, finds research in the Journal of Clinical Pathology. view more (2002-04-25)
Enhancement of pancreatic cancer on dynamic CT: Does it correlate with angiogenesis and fibrosis?
Prognosis of pancreatic cancer is poor. Recently, it has been clarified that the grade of tumor angiogenesis is a useful prognostic marker in human cancer, including pancreatic cancer. view more (2009-07-16)
Pancreatic cancer risk decreased by one anti-diabetic therapy, increased by others
The antidiabetic medication metformin is associated with a reduced risk of pancreatic cancer in diabetics, according to a new study in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute. view more (2009-08-03)
Scientists develop screening method for pancreatic cancer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found a way of identifying families at high risk of pancreatic cancer. view more (2005-09-21)
A new method of pancreaticojejunostomy?
A soft pancreatic texture with a narrow pancreatic ductal size creates a high risk for the development of a pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy, often leading to death. Several methods have been advocated to reduce the occurrence of leakage, but the best technique is still a subject of debate. view more (2008-03-18)
Hepatitis B does not increase risk for pancreatic cancer
A Henry Ford Hospital study found that hepatitis B does not increase the risk for pancreatic cancer - and that only age is a contributing factor. view more (2009-11-02)
Being overweight, obese during early adulthood associated with greater risk of pancreatic cancer
Young adults who are overweight or obese have an increased risk of pancreatic cancer, and being obese at an older age is associated with a lower overall survival rate for patients with pancreatic cancer. view more (2009-06-24)
Cellular self-eating promotes pancreatitis
To survive tough times, cells sometimes resort to a form of self-cannibalism called autophagy. But as Hashimoto et al. reveal, autophagy can have a down side, destroying the pancreas by prematurely activating a digestive enzyme. view more (2008-06-30)
New drug achieves pancreatic cancer tumor remission and prevents recurrence
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers, but researchers may have found a combination therapy to reduce cancer stem cells and stop pancreatic cancer growth. Results will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research 100th Annual Meeting 2009. view more (2009-04-20)
Naturally-occurring apple compounds reduce risk of pancreatic cancer
Eating flavonol-rich foods like apples may help reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer, says a team of international researchers. Quercetin, which is found naturally in apples and onions, has been identified as one of the most beneficial flavonols in preventing and reducing the risk of pancreatic cancer. view more (2007-10-04)
Study finds association between hepatitis B and pancreatic cancer
A new study has shown that evidence of past hepatitis B infection was twice as common in people with pancreatic cancer than in healthy controls. This study is the first to report an association between past exposure to the hepatitis B virus and pancreatic cancer, but researchers cautioned that more studies are necessary to evaluate the nature of... view more...

COX-2 inhibitors delay pancreatic cancer precursors in mice
Nimesulide, a cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor, delays the progression of precancerous pancreatic lesions in mice, according to researchers at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. view more (2007-08-02)
RNA interference toward MMP-2 may be an effective therapeutic strategy for cancer
The invasion or metastasis of pancreatic cancer has been known to be a complex process involving many molecular mechanisms, of which proteolytic degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) exerted by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was considered to be an essential step. view more (2009-03-09)
Fizzy drinks increase risk of pancreatic cancer
The high consumption of sweetened food and drink increases the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, according to a new study from Karolinska Institutet. view more (2006-11-09)
Jefferson Scientists Find Protein May Play a Key Role in Development of Deadly Form of Pancreatic Cancer
A tumor-blocking protein previously implicated in prostate and breast cancer development may also be behind the most aggressive type of pancreatic cancer. Researchers at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have discovered that the protein, pp32 - which normally applies the brakes on a cancer-causing gene - is missing in an... view more...

Adenoviral vector specifically targeted to EphA2 receptor in pancreatic cancer cells
Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease with poor prognosis. This warrants the development of novel therapies including gene therapy. view more (2009-06-24)
Pancreatic Cancer Surgery Five-Year Survivors 65 and Up Live Nearly as Long As Anyone
A new study shows that pancreatic cancer patients 65 or older who live at least five years after surgery have nearly as good a chance as anyone else to live another five years. view more (2007-01-10)
