Pancreatic Cancer Cured In Mice With Triple-Drug Therapy: Major Breakthrough

  • Scientists at Spain's National Cancer Research Centre, led by Mariano Barbacid, successfully cured pancreatic cancer in mice.
  • The new triple-drug therapy eliminated tumors without significant side effects or relapse after six years of research.
  • Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, a deadly form of cancer, often resists current treatments due to tumor adaptation and late diagnosis.
  • The CNIO therapy combines three drugs to block multiple tumor survival mechanisms, preventing cancer cells from developing resistance.
  • This breakthrough could pave the way for new combination therapies and clinical trials for human pancreatic cancer patients.

Why It Matters: A triple-drug therapy successfully cured pancreatic cancer in mice, offering hope for human treatment.
