Study uses new pancreatic-cancer method

: "WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 (UPI) -- A new 'reverse' pancreatic-cancer therapy largely reduces the size of tumors and lowers the risk of recurrence.

Fifty percent of 24 patients in a study at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H., responded to the new treatment, which the researchers said is one of the highest response rates ever seen with pancreatic cancer.

Results of the study were published this week in the December issue of the Annals of Surgical Oncology"
