Great new, BUT
Lately, headlines claiming that “pancreatic cancer has been completely eliminated in mice” are circulating widely.
The core information is true; the conclusion drawn from it is wrong.
Mariano Barbacid and his team demonstrated a triple-targeted treatment combination that very strongly suppresses pancreatic cancer in mouse models. In some mice, tumors completely disappeared and no recurrence was observed.
But let’s pause.
This is a preclinical study. Meaning: – It has not been tested in humans
– Efficacy and safety are unknown
– It does not represent a clinical treatment
Seeing “complete responses” in mouse models is not new in pancreatic cancer research. The real challenge has always been translating these results to humans. Tumor biology and the microenvironment often break the effect when moving from mice to patients.
Why does this still matter?
Because simultaneously targeting KRAS, EGFR, and STAT3-related resistance pathways shows real biological relevance. That is a valid scientific signal.
Let’s be clear: “A cure has been found” — false
“Patients will soon be cured” — false
“A promising laboratory signal worth testing in humans” — true

The situation in the Gaza Strip is increasingly worrying and painful. I renew my heartfelt appeal to allow the entry of dignified humanitarian aid and to bring an end to the hostilities, whose heart-rending price is borne by children, the elderly, and the sick.
Anoche en un establecimiento de comida para llevar y me atrevo a decir el nombre, porque me da igual: “Kebab La Merced 24 h” en la esquina de Calle Trinidad con Calle Obispo Frutos, de Murcia, sufrí una agresiom homófoba por parte de dueño y camareros del establecimiento, al grito de “MARICON DE MIERDA”
