Scientists from British managed to find cure for pancreatic cancer. According to scientists from Cancer Research UK, aggressive pancreatic cancer may be cured by this drug. Tumors or cancer in pancreas is extremely dangerous. Only one in five people who can survive for a year after being diagnosed. This is because people gene is turned off by cancer cells.
Now, researchers are testing drugs that have the potential to alter gene and stop the spread of cancer cells. This treatment has been practiced to mice that indicate USP9x gene which controls cell to divide has been killed by cancer cells.
Gene is not mutated, but proteins and other chemicals stopped and make the gene dead. "We suspect that the fault is not in genetic code, but a chemical that turns the gene to be dead or alive. After some more tests, we will confirm, "said researchers from Cancer Research UK, David Tuveson.
Researchers from Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, David Adams, said that this study strengthens our understanding of biological cells. "We have to look into cell biological systems to identify all genes that play a role in cancer," he explained.
Each year, approximately 7,800 people in UK are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is belong the five most deadly cancers in the world.
