Extractions: It is hard to detect pancreatic cancer at a stage early enough for a cure. The disease claims 32,000 lives a year in the USA. But this death toll might be cut if there was some way of diagnosing the disease earlier. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have now revealed a significant finding that may help. Their study of over 2,000 patients showed that those who develop diabetes after the age of 50 have a much increased - eight times higher - risk of developing pancreatic cancer. One per cent of those in this group developed pancreatic cancer within the next three years. It is possible that further investigation could lead to the discovery of some kind of marker linked to the type of diabetes that goes on to pancreatic cancer. This could provide the basis of an early test for the cancer. Source

Extractions: Journal of Clinical Oncology in January 2001, three of eight patients who received the higher dose levels of the vaccine had prolonged disease-free survival and this continues to be true at their most recent follow-up of at least 6.5 years. This outcome is considered particularly significant since all three long-term survivors were judged to be at high risk for recurrent cancer due to microscopic evidence of pancreatic tumor following surgery and/or metastatic tumor in pancreatic lymph nodes. In addition, the three patients with prolonged disease-free survival had biopsy-proven vaccine-induced antitumor immunity as well as delayed type sensitivity (DTH) reactions against their own tumor cells, findings not seen in the patients whose cancer progressed. This observed relationship between evidence of an immune response to the vaccine and clinical outcome is further supported by T cell responses to mesothelin described in an August 2004 article in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.

Extractions: @import url( http://www.journalclub.org/wp-content/themes/jcowtheme/style.css ); The November 16 Annals has an article from Indiana University comparing endoscopic ultrasound with multidetector CT scanning for the evaluation of suspected pancreatic cancer 104 patients with suspected non-metastatic pancreatic malignancy underwent both EUS and high-resolution multidetector CT scanning. Of these patients, 41 were managed medically, and 63 underwent surgery. The two modalities were then compared for their accuracy in determining resectability, staging and detection of tumors. Secondary endpoints were staging and the actual detection of tumors. In terms of overall staging, endoscopic US was superior to CT scanning, due to better recognition of T3 disease. For nodal staging, there was no significant difference. Interestingly, EUS was superior to CT scanning in the detection of small tumors. Among the 63 patients who underwent surgery, 53 were found to have cancer. Of these 53, endoscopic ultrasound failed to diagnose 2 tumors less than 25 mm in size; CT scanning missed 10 tumors, 9 of which were less than 25 mm and one greater than 25 mm. Most of these were in the head of the pancreas. The authors do not specifically explain how 10 patients who had no pancreatic masses on CT scanning came to be evaluated for suspected pancreatic cancer, but 4 of them had had biliary stents placed, so presumably biliary obstruction was the presenting symptom for many of these CT-negative cases.

SupermarketGuru Home Want to Avoid Pancreatic Cancer? Eliminate Sodium Nitrate, Add Hot Peppers Two different studies, one from the University of Hawaii and the other from the University of Pittsburgh, point to potential cause and cure of one of the most aggressive cancers - pancreatic cancer. With the highest cancer mortality rate (some 80% of all those diagnosed die within one year) pancreatic cancer is now the fourth leading cause of cancer death among men and the fifth among women in the United States, according to the American Cancer Society. In previous hallmark studies of pancreatic cancer prevention, the consumption of fish and green tea were shown to provide some improvement in the condition of pancreatic cancer patients and contributed to the fight against carcinogens. But in a study released last week by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, the focus was not on a particular food or beverage, but on a spice, capsaicin, the element in hot peppers that make them âhot.â
