Pancreatic cancer genetics and possible cures
The diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is difficult and symptoms are rarely attributed to this malignant disease considered among the most lethal, and of researchers in Australia have proceeded to carry out genetic sequencing of this aggressive tumor in order to develop a program to try to improve the chances of survival for patients since for now is very low (approximately five years for a five percent of the cases). By examining the genetic variations in pancreatic adenocarcinomas were obtained four categories: stable, locally rearranged, scattered, unstable; then besides having identified two new genetic mutations among those highlighted as responsible of the cancer some could be cured with medicines effective for other cancers, whereas seventy-five percent of patients not survive one year after the diagnosis.
