Researchers have found a protein to block the growth of cancer stem-like cells as a possible treatment for pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers in humans. Symptoms rarely appear early so it is often only diagnosed at an advanced stage, meaning prognosis and survival rates are poor. This, combined with lifestyle factors, means it is set to overtake colorectal, breast and prostate cancer and become the second leading cause of worldwide cancer-related deaths by 2030.
