New guidelines for pancreatic cancer screening
BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER BOSTON — By the year 2030, pancreatic cancer is expected to become the second most common cause of cancer deaths for both men and women in the United States, according to recent reports. While considered uncommon, inherited gene mutations can increase a person’s risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Early detection...

New research pushes closer to novel therapy for pancreatic cancer
by Steve Lundeberg, Oregon State University Credit: Pharmaceutics (2022). DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics14040713 Research by Oregon State University has uncovered a potential new therapy for pancreatic cancer, whose survival rate is among the lowest of all malignancies. About one person in 64 will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. The pancreas is an abdominal...
