Pancreatic Cancer: There is good news for pancreatic cancer patients from all over the world including India. The news is that American and British medical scientists have for the first time developed a special type of drug treatment for the treatment of pancreatic cancer by making important changes in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
The number of pancreatic cancer patients is increasing alarmingly all over the world. It is said that every year about 5 lakh patients develop this serious disease. Also, the chances of survival of pancreatitis patients are also very low. Professor Kevan Shocket of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of California, USA, and his team, while giving details of their research, said, 'We have done a ten-year exploratory study for the precise treatment of pancreatic cancer. During this study, the RAS of -G12 has fundamentally changed the form of a microscopic particle (molecule) called D-. This molecule causes pancreatic cancer in humans. However, this molecule also causes lung, colon, breast cancer.
Bollywood's famous actress Nargis was a victim of pancreatic cancer. Nargis died in 1971. Apart from this, Apple company's Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs also died in 2011 due to this serious disease. Dr. John Van Geest Cancer Research Center, Nottingham Trent University, UK. Maria Hatziapostolov and her team reported that pancreatic cancer causes a major disruption in the natural functioning of a gene called HNF4A, which is essential for human health. As a result, a cancerous tumor forms in the body and over time the tumor grows larger. Now in the future, it will be easier to make the best medicine so that this entire serious process is not interrupted.

Kevin Shaukat has researched the KRAS-G12D for years
American chemical biologist Kevin Shaukat has been working on the KRAS-G12D mutation for a decade. His work on KRAS mutation is historic. His research in the field of biogenetics chemistry, chemical genetics has proved very useful for further research. He did an important research on KRAS-G12D mutation in March this year and his research work was published in the renowned journal Nature. Kevin Shaukat, professor and head of the Department of Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of California, has received many prestigious awards for his research.
