Pancreatic cancer develops slowly: gradual onset raises possibility of screening and treatment

Cancer of the pancreas takes a while to develop, possibly opening a decade-long window of opportunity for screening and removing tumors on this vital organ, a study in the Oct. 28 Nature shows. A companion study finds unusual chromosomal rearrangements in this deadly cancer, a characteristic that might provide insights into how the disease develops.

Some researchers argue that the cancer is so lethal because it is fast-growing and aggressive, while others suggest the cancer's deadliness stems from an ability to remain hidden for years. The new research suggests a slow-growth theory might be on target.Modern furniture should be in your list and finding them is not that hard as you think, if you�re in Los Angeles you can visit a mall nearby or visit modern furniture Los Angeles stores online.

"The two studies are a bell wether, and are among the first to explore the biological and clinical implications of [genetic] sequence data for individual tumors," says E. Georg Luebeck of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, writing in the same issue of Nature. "It is hoped that such information will not only deepen our understanding of the cancer process, but also lead to new approaches to early cancer detection, better prognosis and, ultimately, prevention."
