A Spanish scientist, Mariano Barbacid, has cured pancreatic cancer in mice. A Cure in animal is a major step toward potential cancer treatment in humans.
A Spanish scientist, Mariano Barbacid, has cured pancreatic cancer in mice. A Cure in animal is a major step toward potential cancer treatment in humans.
The research was led by a Spanish scientist, Mariano Barbacid, and centers on a new triple-drug therapy that has had promising results so far after tests conducted on mice.
Not only was this new potential ‘cure’ able to completely wipe out existing pancreatic tumors, but it also showed no signs of relapse in the existing tests after treatment was conducted, proving it to be a potentially revolutionary treatment if the same results were seen in humans.
Pancreatic cancer is known for its resistance to treatment, making it incredibly challenging for doctors to deal with, yet this potential cure uses the triple-drug approach to fight three tumor survival mechanisms at the one time, effectively reducing what the cancer can do to ‘rewire’ itself as a defense tactic.
Reminder that, while this is promising and absolutely should be looked at, something like 95%+ of results which show promise in animal trials cannot be replicated in humans.

The problem with this particular cancer is you don’t know you have it until it’s too late to treat it.

That’s great. My father just passed from stage 4 pancreatic cancer on November 14th, 2025. I really hope this creates some more options and better hope for those who suffer from this horrible condition.

Pancreatic cancer has like a 12% survival rate in humans so this is legitimately huge if it translates. The gap between “cured in mice” and “cured in humans” is brutal though… we’ve cured cancer in mice probably hundreds of times at this point.

Pancreatic cancer incredibly difficult to treat and has the worst cancer survival rate for patients. This is a huge breakthrough and hopefully more comes from it!

Pancreatic cancer runs in my family. Lost my dad to it in 2019. Would LOVE to see this lead somewhere. Pancreatic cancer is hellish.

Fuck I hope this works in humans, I have lost 2 good friends to pancreatic cancer.
Amazing work dude, good job.

This man must be brilliant, because pancreatic cancer is EXTREMELY deadly!

It comes way too late for my beloved daughter inlaw. She fought so hard for four years. We lost her in May. I celebrate the hope it gives future people with this most horrid cancer.
