🇪🇸 A research team led by Spanish oncologist Mariano Barbacid has successfully eradicated pancreatic cancer in mice for the first time, offering hope for a human cure.
The experiment involved treating the mice by combining three low-toxicity drugs, according to a study published today.
Dr. Barbacid has made a number of high profile discoveries in medical science, with his National Cancer Research Centre in Spain becoming one of the world's leading centres of cancer research.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers, with the variant treated having a five-year survival rate of less than 5%.
Clinical trials will begin soon, followed by approval for use of this treatment in humans.
