Pancreatic Cancer, so You Can Live Longer

Pancreatic cancer patients can hope for more lives, as scientists found antibiotics can make chemotherapy more efficient, Kosovas broadcasts.

Researchers have found that they can make chemotherapy more effective for most types of cancer.

The diagnosis of tumor microbiology will help us improve our existing chemotherapy treatments for cancer patients”, Professor Tal Danino, who was part of the study, said.

Scientists from the Weizmann Institute of Science and a number of other universities have injected 113 antibiotics to see if chemotherapy drugs would be more effective.

Bacterium was killed in 86 mice, which means chemotherapy was effective in 76 percent of mice.

But tumors marked rapid increases in rats that did not receive antibiotics.

If antibiotics are effective in humans, then the lives of people affected by cancer in the pancreatics can be extended.

Almost 20 percent of pancreatic patients survived for one or more years after being diagnosed with the disease.

Only one percent will survive ten years after the diagnosis, the Great Britain's Cancer Research has announced.

Pancreatic cancer symptoms include sudden weight loss, skin decay, and bowel changes.

Cancer is caused by smoking, diabetes, and stomach ulcers
