Pancreatic Cancer Research
Pancreatic cancer has a dismal prognosis when surgical treatment is not an option, and is almost uniformly resistant to current treatments. The reason for this may reside in the unique nature of the pancreatic stem cell, the root cause of this cancer. Pancreatic cancer stem cells are being isolated to explore which genes are abnormally expressed in them. These insights would illuminate mechanisms for pancreatic cancer development and at the same time provide clues about novel therapeutic targets. Given the pressing societal need for advances in this area, the SWCRF plans to fund additional scientists in the future to build upon this important collaborative program.
