New Implantable Device May Help Shrink Pancreatic Tumours
MIT researchers have developed a small, implantable device that delivers chemotherapy drugs directly to pancreatic tumours, and can potentially help shrink the tumours to a size where a surgeon can remove them.

Implantable Device Could Help Shrink Pancreatic Tumours: Research
An implantable device can deliver a particularly toxic cocktail of drugs directly to the highly lethal pancreatic tumours to stunt their growth or in some cases, shrink them -- all while showing signs that the rest of the body would be spared of the toxic side effects, new research has found.

New Test to Quickly Spot Pancreatic Cancer: Study
By collecting samples from the portal vein -- which carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract, including from the pancreas, to the liver -- physicians can learn far more about a patients pancreatic cancer than by relying on peripheral blood from a more easily accessed vein in the arm, says a study.

Drug Combo Could Combat Pancreatic Cancer
Pairing an experimental drug with an existing one could provide a more effective way to treat a form of pancreatic cancer than a single drug, new research has found.

Scientists Find Way to Restore Pancreatic Cancer Cells to Normal State
When the reprogrammed cancer cells were introduced into mice, their ability to form tumours was greatly diminished.
