Pancreatic Cancer: No Longer a Death Sentence

Teresa Neumann : Feb 27, 2014  Rick Ansorge – Newsmax

In trials, the therapy eliminated about 50 percent of the primary tumor in the pancreas and an astonishing 90 percent of the distant or metastasized tumors.

Apparently, no more.

Even though pancreatic cancer is still considered a death sentence at this writing, a new therapy developed at Albert Einstein College of Medicine promises to dramatically improve the survival rate of people diagnosed with it.

As reported in Newsmax: "The new therapy combines two proven cancer fighters: the radioactive isotope rhenium-188, and a weakened form of the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. In a mouse model of pancreatic cancer, researchers Claudia Gravekamp and Ekaterina Dadachova showed that radioactive bacteria eliminated about 50 percent of the primary tumor in the pancreas and an astonishing 90 percent of the distant or metastasized tumors."

"It's been very, very successful," said Gravekamp. "Rhenium-188 has been through clinical trials, including our own clinical trial in melanoma patients, so it's showed to be safe and effective."

The ultimate approval of the therapy is still probably two years away. It can't come any too soon though, as pancreatic cancers kills more Americans every year than any other cancer except lung, colon and breast, which are far more treatable.
