The new vaccine, which has shown promise in an early trial involving 20 pancreatic cancer patients and five with bowel cancer, has been developed to help the body's immune system find and attack cancer cells.

A new pancreatic cancer vaccine has appeared to slow disease progression and increase survival for patients in an early trial.

Pancreatic cancer has some of the poorest survival rates due to it often only being detected in an advanced stage.

Many see their cancers not responding to treatment or continuing to spread despite undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

    Guess what: Pancreatic cancer kills fast. Faster than this will reach market approval.

    It might be a hope for people who are multiple years away from their first cell going apeshit.

    But not for a single pancreatic cancer patient now. Sadly prognosis still is fairly grim. And journalism has already died,it seems.
