Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, with very few effective treatments. But messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines—famous for their ability to prevent COVID—are starting to show some promise against the lethal cancer. In a recent early-stage trial, half of pancreatic cancer ...
Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which malignant cells originate in the pancreatic tissue. Cancer of the exocrine component of the pancreas (adenocarcinomas) represents the majority of pancreatic malignancies. Pancreatic cancer is generally characterized by a poor prognosis.Latest...

21, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- Adding a personalized mRNA vaccine to standard treatment could offer new hope for pancreatic cancer patients, a small yet promising study from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The study followed 16 patients, including Barbara Brigham, who joined the trial a...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is lethal in 88% of patients1, yet harbours mutation-derived T cell neoantigens that are suitable for vaccines 2,3. Here in a phase I trial of adjuvant autogene cevumeran, an individualized neoantigen vaccine
60 It has been found that some cytotoxic drugs cause immunogenic cell death with release of tumor antigens, which is a promising area for anti-cancer vaccine development.49 Another approach, utilizing ex vivo stimulation of dendritic cells with various tumor-associated antigens, is being explored ...
