Pancreatic cancer is considered the most lethal cancer in the human body. But new treatment advances are improving outcomes for patients, making long-term survival possible.
' quality of life are still limited., Mayo Clinic researchers analyzed the results of a cross-sectional survey of pancreatic cancer survivors. They found that patients—who were, on average, five years post-surgery—reported excellent quality of life.
"While the short-term complications of these treatments are well-known, we don't fully understand the long-term effects that these treatments have on patients." In their analysis, the researchers also evaluated long-term gastrointestinal symptoms that can be common outcomes ofsurgery. After surgery, some patients may experience pancreatic insufficiency, where the pancreas doesn't produce enough of the enzyme needed to digest food completely. Patients may also develop diabetes, in which the pancreas does not produce the right amount of insulin to move glucose from the blood into the cells.

Solving for Y: Research team completes long-anticipated genome sequencing of Y chromosomeTwenty years ago, when researchers from the Human Genome Project announced that they had completed the first-ever sequence of an entire set of human DNA, the discovery was heralded as comparable to 'splitting the atom or going to the moon.' The announcement forever transformed the fields of genomics, biology, and medicine, allowing researchers to investigate more complex questions and seek more complicated answers related to the human body and how to treat disease.
