Pancreatic Cancer May Succumb to âDual Cellâ Approach Photo of a human pancreatic tumor section showing SLC7A11 in helper cells (yellow). [UNSW Sydney] May 13, 2021 To fight pancreatic cancer more effectively, we should do more than attack cancer cells. We should also attack their collaborators, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). By widening the fight to encompass CAFsâcells that create fibrotic fortresses around pancreatic tumorsâwe may finally overcome a disease that has been known to withstand the most determined sieges. The castle keep and outer walls of a pancreati...

Share UNSW medical researchers have found a way to starve pancreatic cancer cells and ‘disable’ the cells that block treatment from working effectively. Their findings in mice and human lab models – which have been 10 years in the making and are about to be put to the test in a human clinical trial – are published today in Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. “Pancreatic cancer has seen minimal improvement in survival for the last four decades – and without immediate action, it is predicted to be the world’s second biggest cancer killer ...
