Project Summary
The two major influences on the outcome of Pancreatic Cancer are the individual genetic changes in the cancer and the submissive tumour microenvironment. This application lays the groundwork for a new drug that favourably alters the tumour microenvironment. The drug should be useful for ALL patients regardless of the state of progression of the disease. This will be a major breakthrough in disease treatment.
