Your body is a buffet. Don’t let cancer put you out of business!
This is Sandra Tsing Loh with the Loh Down on Science.
Only one in eight patients survives pancreatic cancer. Now, we’re hitting it where it hurts.
Enter Mariano Barbacid and a quote “SWAT” team at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre.
They created a triple-threat drug that blocks growth signals, like locking the buffet doors. It cuts off communication, like stealing their phones. And finally removes their defenses, confiscating their disguises so security can escort them out.
The team tested this new drug in mice with pancreatic cancer. And… all tumors vanished for good, a feat never done before!
So long, cancer! This buffet is officially closed!
