Hope and pray so........we've lost at least a dozen friends over the past decade due to pancreatic cancer.....three of them doctors.
Just attended a funeral for someone 10 years younger than us two weeks ago.
It's been pretty much a death sentence with little recourse.

This approach to treating pancreatic cancer has been talked about for a while
The great thing is the efficacy and success rate of each trial shows researchers are on the right track
AI software is anticipated to speed the implementation
The computational power needed to analyze the "target" is high
The whole process is called moving forward into the future

My father-in-law died from PC after battling it for around 11 years. It was chemo... remission... returned... immunotherapy... remission... returned... chemo... remission... returned. But, the final time, his oncologists said there was nothing that could be done, that was in January 2023, he died in May 2023.

I wonder if the anti-vaxxers are against this as well? :ponder:

Sorry for your loss. It seems the diagnosis was caught early on in the disease process. The survival rate and time to death for PC is terrible.

Absolutely correct. This research has been going on for over a decade. The COVID vaccine is really what brought it to the public's attention.

I’m sorry for the loss of your love one.
I just pray that the medical profession do not charge an arm and a leg for this vaccine.

I hope the vaccine works and is available soon. I too have lost many friends from CP. One good friend since high school was dead in less than 3 months from diagnosis, a former co-worker died 17 days after diagnosis. Our family doctor's wife, as quite a few others I have known, was diagnosed with PC within 5 years of being treated for breast cancer and only lived a few months.

From my reading of the Article it is not a general mRNA Vaccine but currently has to be developed/produced for the individual.
