Avantogen Limited ("Avantogen", ASX:ACU), Sydney, Australia and San Diego, CA, and Innovate Oncology, Inc ("Innovate"; IOVO:OTCBB), New York, today announced that 2 abstracts reporting on the evaluation of the use of RP101 in the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer. view more (2006-06-12)
Rare pancreatic cancer patients may live longer when treated with radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is effective in achieving local control and palliation in patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNTs), despite such tumors being commonly considered resistant to radiation therapy. view more (2009-11-23)
New drug aims to 'seek and destroy' many types of cancer
A new drug designed to "seek and destroy" common cancers such as breast, prostate, endometrial, pancreatic, ovarian, skin and testicular cancers is being tested at TGen Clinical Research Services (TCRS) at Scottsdale Healthcare. view more (2009-10-06)
M. D. Anderson study finds common diabetic therapy reduces risk of pancreatic cancer
Taking the most commonly-prescribed anti-diabetic drug, metformin, reduces an individual's risk of developing pancreatic cancer by 62 percent. view more (2009-08-03)
Penn study points to new direction for pancreas cell regeneration
Replacing faulty or missing cells with new insulin-making cells has been the object of diabetes research for the last decade. Past studies in tissue culture have suggested that one type of pancreas cell could be coaxed to transform into insulin-producing islet cells. view more (2007-04-04)
Mutation in tumor suppressor gene causes pancreatic islet cells to reproduce
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have found that the acute loss of a protein called menin can cause the proliferation of pancreatic islet cells, which secrete insulin to regulate blood sugar. view more (2006-07-06)
The most important candidate genes for pancreatic stone formation
Stone formation is an important feature of chronic pancreatitis, especially tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP), where the stones are large in size, highly irregular in shape and cause enormous tissue destruction. view more (2007-11-14)
LSUHSC research may benefit diabetes by increasing understanding of how to control islet cell growth
Michael Lan, PhD, Professor of Pediatrics and Genetics at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, is the senior author of a paper revealing the molecular mechanism of how a protein determines the fate of the cells that make and release insulin. view more (2009-02-18)
Method shows promise for early detection of pancreatic cancer
Optical technology developed by a Northwestern University biomedical engineer shown to be effective in the early detection of colon cancer now appears promising for detecting pancreatic cancer, the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths in the United States. view more (2007-08-01)
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)
Pancreatic fat levels may help predict diabetes, UT Southwestern researchers say
Researchers have long suspected that overweight people tend to have large fat deposits in their pancreases, but they've been unable to confirm or calculate how much fat resides there because of the organ's location. Until now. view more (2009-09-22)
African-Americans with colorectal cancer have poorer outcomes, lower survival rates
New research published in the November issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons shows that African-American patients with colorectal cancer are more likely to be diagnosed with advanced disease and are less likely to undergo surgical procedures compared with Caucasians, suggesting that improvements in screening and rates of... view more...

Researchers pit novel version of common virus against cancer
With nearly $1 million in government funding, University of Rochester scientists are testing a new innovation in biotherapy by altering a common childhood respiratory virus, the adenovirus, to destroy cancer cells. view more (2007-06-21)
Popular diabetes treatment could trigger pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer
A drug widely used to treat Type 2 diabetes may have unintended effects on the pancreas that could lead to a form of low-grade pancreatitis in some patients and a greater risk of pancreatic cancer in long-term users, UCLA researchers have found. view more (2009-05-01)
Large dose dexamethasone plays important roles in severe acute pancreatitis
Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a fatal systemic disease featuring acute onset, serious conditions, high incidence of complications and 20 - 30% mortality, mainly due to multiple organ failure at its early stage. view more (2007-11-05)
Mounting evidence shows red wine antioxidant kills cancer
Rochester researchers showed for the first time that a natural antioxidant found in grape skins and red wine can help destroy pancreatic cancer cells by reaching to the cell's core energy source, or mitochondria, and crippling its function. The study is published in the March edition of the journal, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology. view more (2008-03-26)
Gene therapy eradicates pancreatic cancer in preclinical trial
A molecularly engineered therapy selectively embeds a gene in pancreatic cancer that shrinks or eradicates tumors, inhibits metastasis, and prolongs survival with virtually no toxicity. view more (2007-07-10)
The new source of islet cells
The shortage of islet cells limits the development of islet transplantation. One new approach was reported in the October 21 issue of the World Journal of Gastroenterology because of its great significance in enhancing the output of islet cells. This article will undoubtedly bring benefit to diabetic patients. view more (2007-10-25)
A long-term survival offered by resection of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas?
The article published in volume 14 issue 6 of World Journal of Gastroenterology reports on one patient who presented to Dr Cosimo Sperti of University of Padua, Padova, Italy, in 2001 after an exploratory laparotomy performed in another hospital for an unresectable pancreatic cystic mass that had infiltrated the portal vein. view more (2008-03-13)
Vitamin C injections slow tumor growth in mice
High-dose injections of vitamin C, also known as ascorbate or ascorbic acid, reduced tumor weight and growth rate by about 50 percent in mouse models of brain, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers, researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) report in the August 5, 2008, issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-08-05)
