TL;DR
- The Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has achieved a historic step in finding a cure for pancreatic cancer.
- Researchers successfully eliminated pancreatic tumors in mice using a triple combination therapy.
- The therapy worked by blocking the KRAS oncogene, a key factor in pancreatic cancer, at three points.
- This approach increased resistance in animal models and showed no side effects in mice.
- The findings suggest potential new therapeutic options for human patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
- The next step is to conduct a clinical trial, which requires funding.
- The research was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
- Several organizations provided funding for the research, including Fundación CRIS Contra el Cáncer and the European Research Council (ERC).
