Society-funded researchers take aim at pancreatic cancer

Scientists funded by the American Cancer Society are finding ways to put a chink in pancreatic cancer’s armor. Researchers are exploiting weak spots in hopes of destroying the cancer and possibly preventing it altogether. “As we better understand how pancreatic cancers develop, more and better strategies to detect and treat this disease become available,” said Karl Saxe, PhD, Director of the Society’s Program in Cancer Cell Biology and Metastasis. Saxe and his colleagues help the Society identify promising young investigators and projects to contribute to the understanding of pancreatic cancer. Read more here.
