New Cancer Treatment Shrinks Pancreatic Tumor

A new cancer treatment is realizing outstanding results against pancreatic cancer. Following five weeks of treatment, a patient's large, stage 4 tumor was reduced in size by 70%. After seven more weeks of treatment, it no longer could be definitely identified on scans. Pancreatic cancer usually is fatal six to nine months after diagnosis. NeoPlas Innovation's combination of FDA-approved drugs appears to improve those odds for some patients, based on this result and similar ones seen before the protocol's public availability.
