NEW MEDICINE FOR PANCREATIC CANCER

Scientists in the UK have managed to find a cure for pancreatic cancer. According to scientists from Cancer Research UK, aggressive pancreatic cancer can be cured with a new drug.

Tumors or cancer of the pancreas is very dangerous. One of the five people who can survive for a year after being diagnosed . This is because the genes of people put off by the cancer cells .

Now researchers are testing drugs that have the potential to alter genes and stop the spread of cancer cells. This treatment was performed in mice indicate that the genes that control USP9X cell to divide , put off by the cancer cells.

Gene is not mutated , but proteins and other chemicals and make the gene stopped short. " We suspect that the fault is not in the genetic code , but a chemical that turns genes on or off . After some tests , we confirm ," said researchers at Cancer Research UK, David Tuveson .

Researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute , David Adams , said that the study strengthens our understanding of the biological cells. "We need to look at the biological cellular systems to identify all the genes that play a role in cancer," he explained .

Each year, about 7,800 people in the UK are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is very dangerous to belong to the five most deadly cancers .
