"An experimental approach to treating pancreatic cancer with the messenger RNA (mRNA)-based therapeutic cancer vaccine autogene cevumeran continues to show potential to stimulate an immune response that may reduce the risk of the disease returning after surgery in a patient group."
But good news going forward
I've also lost someone to this cancer, and my wife is herself being monitored because she has a non-cancerous tumor in her pancreas, so long live the future.
It's awful there's no two ways about it.
The horrible thing about this cancer is that it is often discovered very -too- late. That's why I'm so happy about this news.
This is an awesome development!
