Mayo Clinic Cancer Center finds possible genetic link to pancreatic cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have found the risk of developing pancreatic cancer at a young age (under 60) to be twice as high for people who carry a mutation of the gene that causes cystic fibrosis, compared to noncarriers. view more (2005-10-21)
Pancreatic cancer: Researchers find drug that reverses resistance to chemotherapy
For the first time researchers have shown that by inhibiting the action of an enzyme called TAK-1, it is possible to make pancreatic cancer cells sensitive to chemotherapy, opening the way for the development of a new drug to treat the disease. view more (2009-09-24)
Mesothelin engineered on virus-like particles provides treatment clues for pancreatic cancer
New understanding of a protein that spurs the growth of pancreatic cancer could lead to a new vaccine against the deadly disease, said researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in a report appearing in the current edition of the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. view more (2008-02-15)
UC Davis researchers discover Achilles' heel in pancreatic cancer
UC Davis Cancer Center researchers have discovered a metabolic deficiency in pancreatic cancer cells that can be used to slow the progress of the deadliest of all cancers. view more (2008-11-07)
Automatic slicing system: Ex-vivo culture normal and cancerous pancreatic tissue
Pancreatic cancer is a devastating disease with a very poor prognosis. This warrants the development of novel therapies including gene therapy. Several of these treatments were found to be effective in pre-clinical (animal) models. However, in the subsequent clinical studies in patients the results were disappointing. view more (2009-03-24)
New treatment for pancreatic cancer allows life-saving surgery
A new treatment for pancreatic cancer developed by clinical researchers of Norris Cotton Cancer Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center substantially reduces the size of tumors and lowers the risk of local recurrence of the disease. view more (2005-12-07)
Link found between periodontal disease and pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.; more than 30,000 Americans are expected to die from the disease this year. view more (2007-01-17)
U-M researchers ID gene involved in pancreatic cancer
Researchers from the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a gene that is overexpressed in 90 percent of pancreatic cancers, the most deadly type of cancer. view more (2009-03-03)
New endoscope allows for easier use in diagnosis of biliary and pancreatic diseases
A research article to be published on March 21, 2009 in the World Journal of Gastroenterology reports their experience of this new endoscope that can directly visualize the biliary and pancreatic ducts. view more (2009-03-24)
VCU Massey Cancer Center and VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine Researchers Publish Findings of a New Chemoprevention Gene Therapy That Kills Pancreatic Cancer Cells
Researchers at the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center and the VCU Institute of Molecular Medicine have published findings that implicate a new chemoprevention gene therapy (CGT) for preventing and treating pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal and treatment-resistant forms of cancer. view more (2008-08-06)
Pancreatic cancer vaccine halts progression of disease in some patients
A dendritic cell-based therapeutic vaccine for pancreatic cancer developed by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has successfully stalled the disease from progressing in a handful of patients three years post-vaccination. view more (2007-04-18)
Early results using therapeutic pancreatic cancer vaccine show promise
Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center researchers are encouraged by early results of a treatment vaccine for pancreatic cancer, a disease with few options and low odds for long-term survival. view more (2005-11-15)
New Tool May Help with Early Detection of Deadly Pancreatic Cancer
A new diagnostic tool developed by Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) scientists has shown promising results when used with patients of pancreatic cancer, one of the deadliest forms of cancer due to the difficulty of diagnosing it in its early stages. view more (2009-08-04)
Lasers Penetrate Cancer's Gene Secrets
LIGHT SABRES and phaser guns may be the stuff of science fiction, but laser technology has brought an important step forward in our present-day understanding of cancer, a study reveals this week.* By using miniature lasers to probe pancreatic tumours, Cancer Research UK scientists have implicated three new genes in the development of the disease.... view more...

Insulin levels and resistance linked to risk of pancreatic cancer
Higher insulin concentrations and insulin resistance are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in men. view more (2005-12-14)
Stem cell breakthrough offers diabetes hope
Scientists have discovered a new technique for turning embryonic stem cells into insulin-producing pancreatic tissue in what could prove a significant breakthrough in the quest to find new treatments for diabetes. view more (2008-04-03)
Hepatitis B exposure may increase risk for pancreatic cancer
In a first-of-its-kind finding, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that exposure to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. view more (2008-09-30)
Nanoscopic changes to pancreatic cells reveal cancer
A team of researchers in Chicago has developed a way to examine cell biopsies and detect never-before-seen signs of early-stage pancreatic cancer, according to a new paper in the Optical Society (OSA) journal Optics Letters. view more (2009-02-13)
Tumor wizardry wards off attacks from the immune system
Like the fictional wizard Harry Potter, some cancerous tumors seem capable of wrapping themselves in an invisibility cloak. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that pancreatic tumors hide from the body's immune surveillance by surrounding themselves with cells that make it hard for the immune system to... view more...

Scientists identify pancreatic cancer stem cells
Researchers at the University of Michigan Medical Center have, for the first time, identified human pancreatic cancer stem cells. Their work indicates that these cells are likely responsible for the aggressive tumor growth, progression, and metastasis that define this deadly cancer. view more (2007-02-01)
