Researchers at the University of Glasgow have made a breakthrough reclassification of Pancreatic Cancer, offering new opportunities to treat the disease.
A study published today in Nature, co-led by Professor Andrew Biankin and a team at the university’s Institute of Cancer Sciences, has identified four key subtypes of Pancreatic Cancer – currently the 4th leading cause of cancer death in Western societies, and projected to be the 2nd within a decade – each with their own distinct clinical characteristics and differential survival outcomes.
